The snail is beautiful, nearly Persian. Do we dwell in
or on beauty? The Belgian mare in my barn weighs 2300 lbs.
but thinks of herself oddly as woman, very feminine and shy
tossing her flaxen mane then rolling hugely & wantonly
in the snow. She takes the proffered apple not with her teeth
but delicately with her lips.
