Poetry: I didn't see

I did not see the horse
although my sister, flushed,
claimed the horse had stood
next to the window, nose to glass,
lipping for a carrot.

She claimed. (I didn't believe.
For young boys miles around
would come to watch her
through the curtains.)

I did not see the horse
race to the sun, glowing as it rose.
No, I did not see the horse.

I saw instead a white shirt
and dark jeans slip out the window.

    through a grey forest,
    a great bear crashing fast behind
