Fritz's grave

 

A POEM HART WROTE FOR FRITZ:

“You do give old Fritz a pat on the nose
and when your arm encircles his neck
the cloud of dust
is no longer a cloud of dust
but a beautiful golden haze,
through which appears a long phantom herd of trailing cattle –
at their head, a pinto pony a pinto pony
with an empty saddle
and then a low, loved whinny the whinny
of a horse so fine –
that nothing seems to live between it and silence.”
