Cow Drinking

Robert Burlingame

Lowing
& lowing
the cornfed
beauty
strolled down
to the river
in a hide
both loose
& tight
evening’s
wind streaming
out her spittle
	        so beautiful
stepping
in up to her
teats to drink
& dream
of drinking
the blurred
flowers of stars
awakening near
her great dark
eyes.
