The Racing Fillies. The Passing By of the Daughters. The two young mares race south, Past the one old stallion having their scent, Remembering them as young fillies; Strong in their father's eye. Now they graze and race as they wish, Across the prairies of the world, Learning, but not yet in their youth, Knowing exactly where they may stable. The stallion has whifted them on their pass, And has missed their presence, but Knows they will produce well for themselves And the world. Frank Maurer 6 January 2026 0250 Hours.
