Watching horse whisperer
tame wild mustang.
.
Taming is complete
when horse allows
trainer to lift its leg.
.
Human relationships
work the same way.
.
Courtship is complete
when I allow you
to touch my face.
.
If I recoil,
you’ve failed.
.
Relationship is over
when you touch my face
and I feel nothing.
