May: the showers of April
and the lengthening of days
drive the madness in the pasture.
Every stone pile has its covey,
and every bush its fertile nest.,

In the pasture, while Old Bossy,
stands to ridden, by her ripening sisters,
but her mad bawling can only be
silenced only by the bull’s mounting:
under the budding poplars
in the green spring pasture below
the dugout where the frogs sing
in the evening’s fecund dusk
May and it’s madness makes
Nan to stand to be ridden
Be always safe,
Karen
