Moo.Cow Poem by aMan Bloom
Moo.Cow
low shuffling signals the passage on my street of cows
up from the village green this evening, a field for football that they keep trim
though players must plod through pies of their leaving
jumped over rather than upon by the nimble and the fleet
recalling weekend volleyball back in an Oregon outback
net stretched between a tree and a pole, cow pies marking the boundaries
and randomly mining the playing ground with their squooshy presents
slalomed while loping to catch and pound a floating ball over my head
early morning mist rising from last night’s frost, I milked our cow
resting my head in her damp silky flank, smelling sweet steamy frothing
me writing dialogue for plays in my head, later set to paper
after filling bottles, sterilizing buckets, setting a bowl to sour under the stove
remembering rural compounds in Turkey, piled in front with bricks of dung,
to serve the household as fuel, cooking food, keeping warm in winter,
arranged in rick-racked cubes, complicated spirals, pyramids, walls
to ward off weather, I don’t know, or simple tradition blindly regarded
here in small town South Africa, township cows slowly saunter
fresh from pasture, home to second milking or slaughter or sleep
tomorrow their moans and rumbles remind me of the beginning of other days
Mooo, I say from my window. Mmmmmmrrrrr.rrnnnnnnnnnnn……
