Cows Lying Down - Jane Hirshfield

[Lawrence Robinson]

Cows Lying Down

A Holstein cow lying down—
it would seem impossible
for such an awkward shape to return to standing.

Yet, lifting part by part
the unlabeled and milky charts of their being,
they do.

With two thumbtacks—one black, one white—
I entrust this vision of unsupine cows to the future.
