MARCH: A BULL ON THE HORIZON, by A. G. BECKMANN

Last Line: Impatient in the dusk to pass the seed of his perfection.
Subject(s): Bulls; March (month)
First Line: In the pale evening glacial yellow rims the west
Last Line: Impatient in the dusk to pass the seed of his perfection.
Subject(s): Bulls; March (month)
In the pale evening glacial yellow rims the west.
The bound creek bears hollow sounds to the muskrat's nest.
The shadow of a bull
Withholds the light. His silhouette tyrannizes night,
Bids winter halt. His muscles bulge
With the proud and taut restraint of known fertility.
He finds no fault when muzzling air
He scents some earth-freed omen there.
He treads across the frost-ruts, lost to light's reflection,
Impatient in the dusk to pass the seed of his perfection.
