Inspiration piece

You
By Ann Quinn
Response

They’ll pull you into pieces

thighs   legs   breasts

they’ll lump you with vices

money   booze   women

they’ll call you a toy

doll

or an infant

baby

or an animal

fox  bitch

know you are not

those names

you who are of the sea

the earth

the stars

you

Inspiration piece

Cattle in Snow
By Ann Quinn
Response

“Eternity is always present in the animal mind; only men deal in beginnings and ends.” –Wendell Berry

The cold
is absolute
is all there ever
has been
all there ever
will be

Does the tree
feel buds
kicking inside?

Does the snow
know only
its perfection,
its unique embrace
of dust?

Or does it remember
cloud?

And the cold,
does it know
that it
might, one day,
end?
