We've Got Cows - The Sunday Muse

 

Come, sweet Hathor
my space-cow
bring your children
back from playing leapfrog
with the moon.
 
The glass on the counter
is half full
and the sweet clover
is blossoming in the field
and soft, September breeze
spills milkweed seed everywhere.
They fly with exuberance,
though they will die,
preparing for next year’s
butterflies.
 
Come with me, Hathor,
from the Aaru
back into to time,
back into this world
of grass and dirt and sun
 
back to this afternoon
of warm sunshine
and soft grasses
of falcons circling high above
and crows preening
in a nearby oak
talking amongst themselves.
 
Of course, it won’t last forever
my dear,
that’s what makes it
perfect.
