I feel a nervous tension
like a farm horse by the hotwire
before the storm arrives
they he scuffs at the ground
nostrils flared
trying to sense a danger
that isn't there
it could be,
the instincts say so
but there is no memory of pain
so I stand here
feeling anxious
like a farm horse before the rain

" and I dream of her always,
even when I don't dream.
her name's on my tongue
and her blood's in my stream."

'Christmas in Prison' John Prine

Soltice Son:  This is interesting and I have seen horses act nervous before a storm.
Sorry you are feeling that way.  Maybe writing about it will ease the tension!

I have had that feeling before, but I never thought to describe it the way you did, of course I don't know alot about horses.  Interesting read.
