my fingers are horses
on cobblestone keys
poems in gallop
they hurry to paste

with morning at their flanks
like cuff links they clatter
on the plastic teeth
of an alphabet case

they scream at my brain
with the litter of their noise
for directions and mapping
for their bowel to drop vowels

then they hesitate
and stand stately as a sire
by his mated mare in posing
waiting for a comma or period now

to give them a rest in a posting....

It just kind of sums  it all up in those few words doesn't it OWG.  Njoyed again....

Hmmm...pasture them?...No. But I suppose all must lie in green grasses from time to time..resting?

Sincerely,
