1. White One
the white horse
from the north clouds
sings from a dakota night
it is a pint of cheap vodka
that keeps him warm
as he dances
two feet off the ground
swaying from bar to bar
drinking his way south
he is the desperate one
who laughs too loud
at his own fate
2. Red One
the red horse
from the eastern sunrise
cannot see the next day
as he chases his life
across the streets of Gallup
he knows only
his red shameful eyes
in the morning
and it becomes
the same day always
3. Gray One
this horse stayed south
too near the railroad tracks
his bones are gray
in the dry sunlight
he wanted to go home
but the tracks always led
to the same place
4. Yellow One
yellow horse
gallops home near Tsaile
the sun is low and almost gone
but he has faith
in its returning
