The Veterinarian
The Veterinarian
the veterinarian moves
between the islands of fur
about the calves he says nothing
conversing more in geese
and the swelling part
he is never doubtful
in front of patients
he stands
and he watches
his speech is the dead leaf
blown across a field
his bags leak straw
and moist sawdust
