Meadow Standoff by Melina Raven Maness DieboldA cow, not grazing guards her calf It lays still surrounded by bitterweed and bitter air Crows and vultures swarm around trying to peck at the still calf Her baby with cinnamon fur a newborn forever rots and decays And still she watches guarding her offspring Waiting in vain for it to walk Softly mooing to him But he'll never reply
