Fall Calf

 "Look, over yonder,

Close to the treeline,

Do you see that little dark spot in the grass?

It looks to me like some cow

Just had a new calf!

I'll bet its legs are still wobbly

And its Momma ain't far

But, let's ride on over

To make sure it's fine

This baby's the first; at the head of the line!

Why, look there;

She's several days old!

 As the early morning light

 greets my journey, 

I am struck by the fact

 that the sloshing liquid

stored in the passing train 

holds the same energy 

as the refracting light 

of the dawn.
