Jackasses

Jackasses move the
world

in saddles rupturing
skin

oozing splendid red
blood

down thin steadfast
legs

(P.S. This is in response to promts at 3WW (Jackass, Rupture, Splendid) and also at Poets United - Verse First where the notion was The Red Wheelbarrow a beautiful poem by William Carlos Williams. Take a look. Keeping things simple is most complicated.

                                                          so much depends
                                                           upon

                                                           a red wheel
                                                           barrow

                                                           glazed with rain
                                                           water

                                                           beside the white
                                                           chickens
