Lovely, but . . .
I love this poem, its clear and quiet imagery. The white horse in the dark just knocks me out. There is one thing, though . . . I rather wish you wouldn't leave out articles like "the" (say, "On THE dirt road grooved beside THE river") Leaving them out seems a little self-consciously "literary" to me. I know you're just trying to keep out the inessential and leave the emphasis on the images, but . . . well, I guess it's a matter of opinion. Nice job, though.

Not just a...
Excellent poem. Puts me there, appeals to the senses, uses interesting literary devices, and is aptly titled. Consistent with the author's other work, but at the same time shows a movement toward poetry that is meant to be performed and not just read.
