How You Might Approach a Foal:

like a lagoon,

like a canoe,

like you

are part earth

and part moon,

like déjà-vu,

like you

had never been

to the outer brink

or the inner Louvre,

like hay,

like air,

like your mother

just this morning

had combed a dream

into your hair,

like you

had never heard

a sermon or

a harsh word,

like a fool,

like a pearl,

like you

are new to the world.

from The New Criterion
