DUXBURY AND THE STALLION

September 6, 2016

Nittering with tongue to teeth, Duxbury approached the stallion. The stallion eyed Duxbury. Both Duxbury’s and the stallion’s nostrils valved in concert. The stallion hoofed and Duxbury booted at the earth. Duxbury and the stallion exchanged whinnies. The mesa was dry. Baring teeth, the stallion lunged. Baring teeth, Duxbury snarled. Duxbury’s snarl brought the stallion to an abrupt halt. The stallion eyed Duxbury. Duxbury eyed the stallion. The stage to Laramie passed by. Duxbury and the stallion stood unmoved.

Cloak

Med of the North opened wide the dark green velvet cloak behind her and thrust her pale green membraned wings, first left, then right, through the pair of carefully measured cuts in the fabric. She drew the cloak about her and snapped shut the clasp at her neck. She turned her gaze to the star.

Star

Through the night directly toward the bright bold light flew Med of the North, bobbing in slow rhythm on the whuff whuff whuff of her membraned wings. She drew nearer and nearer.

Ice

Over vast canyons of ice she flew searching. Aha! A red glow. Down she glided to land. The ice door glistened, opened. The red glow beckoned.

Morning

‘Meadow Jane Harper, it’s time to get up. Do you want to be late on the first day of school?’

Med opened her eyes. She smiled.
