CLEANING THE CALF SHED
Forty below outside
not much warmer
on the inside
A hundred little Herefords
dropping and stepping
where it freezes
where it drops
The calves are
four feet closer
to the roof
by April
After the thaw
sitting on the steel seat
of the little orange Allis
with the front end loader
Driving in hard
and pulling
out
fast
Manuria
in one nostril
spring
in the other
