Horses

The landscape of the Navajo Nation is in the grip of dramatic transformation.
Sand dune migration has led to drought and 191 horses have been found drowned in a stock pond filled with mud.

Opening with a meditation on this loss, "Horses" is an electric response to crisis:
a reclamation of land, imagination and language;
a fierce act of protest;
and a song for the beauty of nature.

It evokes both the end of a world and a sense of emergence amid chaos,
a new dawn flickering on the horizon.

Somewhere in a dune field
I am hunched over like a comma
studying the way a landfill
can be mistaken for a sky
