HELLO FROM THE PAST ✨ I
.
his halter had a bronze plate
‘Shazmir ox’ engraved
I’ve carried it in my wallet for years
.
today, at the airport
my handbag was scanned, checked, picked apart, scanned again
after the seventh (!) scan the woman hands me the plate
“it was this one”
.
it felt like a ‘hello’ from the other side
as if he had something to say
.
.
.
I saw him on a May evening in a field on the island of Gotland, far away from home, and fell in love, head over heals
a 4 year old Arabic stallion, never ridden
gosh, I was a brave young girl!
determined
persuasive, obviously...
.
is that what he wanted to remind me of?
maybe...
