  Clean Water

  

  By TheImaginaryCow, Bryn Mawr, PA

  He drinks the water because he is thirsty: Bent down on his knees Among the thistle and splintered grass. Scooping with a cupped hand from between the brown stones. Tonight he will be sick, His stomach raked raw from disease He knows this, But his throat is dry with dust And the water, Tra...

  A Circle of Dogs

  

  By TheImaginaryCow, Bryn Mawr, PA

  Man teaches beast with gestures And tries to teach With words But it does not work. They sit in an untrained circle. Waiting Not for man to speak, But waiting for the inflection: The anger or the loving, cooing of praise. The spotted one sits with its head turned, It watches man speak ...

  Strawberries

  

  By TheImaginaryCow, Bryn Mawr, PA

  I Midmorning light scatters between the grass and dandelions, Catching speckles of wild strawberries. It must be spring. II His thumb presses in against the dent: Cold and slightly sticky, Yellow seeds scaling the surface of Smooth, snakelike skin. He drops it into the bowl III She do...

  First Haiku

  

  By TheImaginaryCow, Bryn Mawr, PA

  Spotting a Wild Mushroom

  

  By TheImaginaryCow, Bryn Mawr, PA

  Even in Nature

  

  By TheImaginaryCow, Bryn Mawr, PA

  Even in nature, it is only in stillness that one can ever see nature: See the ever-moving ants, the gray cat-furred moths in constant motion. The black widow spinning thick meshes of white web in the splintered skeletons of long fallen trees. The electric-blue tails of dragonflies vivid ag...

  The Weak

  

  By TheImaginaryCow, Bryn Mawr, PA

  Disillusioned, they claw apart with hunger Flexing muscles and exchanging Talons for claws with even certainty Licking wounds And plunging into restless, savage slumber These are the dreams of the weak The pinprick voids that exist silently In the blindside of their hearts Somewhere they co...

  Untitled No.7

  

  By TheImaginaryCow, Bryn Mawr, PA

  From the starry woods we came In a burst of glory from the night, Like bats Into the morning light. And watching for first signs Of the orange sun We marvel. But God does this time and again; Blinking universes into existence. And he took time for us Between his tasks Of fillin...

  By Starlight

  

  By TheImaginaryCow, Bryn Mawr, PA

  In the dappled grass I found my bed Drawn far from my home in the summer night The universe itself seemed to press in overhead As I lay beneath the starry light And airy breeze tumbled from the woods Which stood, but no menace did display In that haven must have been some good For my trust ...
