Passion Eddy  

Book two of impromptu trilogy.

  Holstein in Cloudy Weather


On the median of the interstate enthusiastic weeds
danced, as yet uncut and still green.  Here was

a field recently tilled and still wet
brown in neat furrows.  Bush salix

leafed in ditches and beside the awkward
pylons—we passed some old men intently

driving little trucks as some milk cows fed
in this cloud-crowded and occluded April light;

beside a parcel of grape stakes just beginning
to vine, the cows had gathered quietly

as if they too were stunned and staggered by
the odd geometry and profusion of wild mustard
	radiantly swaying.
