Ignorances and Death

"Muscles and Ribs
Dust and Starvation
Bridles and Martingales
Saddles and Girths
Blankets and Bits
Shoes and Ropes
Rawhide and Leather
Blood and Sores
Runs and Maneuvers
Attempts and Failures
Losses and Falls
Calls and Hate
Predators and Enemies
Hunters and Trainers
Killers and Abusers
Blackouts and Hallucinations
Rats and Mold
Must and Water
Rotten and Cold"

~Grace Marshall
