One Task |
| Had one task |
| In our home |
| Had to draw water from the well for my father’s horse |
| I was the least |
| Among my brothers |
| And I would be the last among them to hold the reins |
| I could feel the heat |
| From old lightning |
| Before my father was awake |
| We’d take off riding |
| There was one law |
| At my father’s house |
| There’s nothing the family needs it can’t do without |
| The horse I loved |
| The old and lame |
| By the time its service was done he’d be twice its age |
| One morning in the mist |
| I jumped the last fence |
| Went farther than even he |
| Or the old man went |
| The wild dancing fire |
| Was snuffed out of me |
| That beast worked his whole life |
| And broke beneath me |
| I had one task |
| In our home |
| I had to drag a horse to the field with my father’s gun |
