At the Acreage
by Richard L. Provencher

Dark as silhouettes
miniature cows claim the title
'Dexter' as their heritage
snouts claiming space
in the pasture

and a harem of eight protected
by mini-bull Kenny
wary of a regular-size version
at the next farm
having an eye for his ladies.

Kenny debates the issue
trashing thirty feet of fence
in a nose to nose
confrontation
second occasion this week.

In a gesture of tranquility snow
continues its fallout
flakes melting into a pile of
emptiness

and announcing through
a parade of hooves
llamas
sheep and donkeys
mark another
plodding day in Alberta.
