ISSUE: Winter 2012
Admit coming upon the fallen horse at evening,
now asleep but withered, now reducing as you near, now
a dell pony at your feet beneath the alder dead,
admit it is too much to both see and bear. You must
either not see or not bear, or see and bear
some quickened portion, the portion allotted to say
this is simply the field
of what occurs on earth.
