The Horse Runs Hidden Behind the Fence

The horse runs hidden behind the fence,
and he pounds down the field,
but not every day.

Moon light floods the yard,
and I drop bread under the tree for the birds.
Not every day
do I see them feast, but I know they come.

My brother stops by the shop one day
to bring me oranges and talk awhile,
but not every day
and not any more.
I know he's here, but I no longer see him.
