CASPER
THE FRIENDLY GHOST
Horses Die in Battle Too
Horses die in battle too. They do it
slowly as the wounds they accumulate
come from arrows that have missed their marks.
They bleed to death, their suffering noble
and calm. A look of superiority
and distance claims their motionless eyes,
while their ears must undergo the raging,
disproportionate agony of men.
