Tomorrow when the farm boys find this / freak of nature, they will wrap his body / in newspaper and carry him to the museum. / But tonight he is alive and in the north / field with his mother. It is a perfect / summer evening: the moon rising over / the orchard, the wind in the grass. / And as he stares into the sky, there / are twice as many stars as usual.
