Watering Cattle at Twenty Below

Ruth Juris

They hunker round; rough splintered coats with sheets of ice shingling down their backs
Ears but fuzzy stumps to the head, the remainders long since sloughed off to frostbite, small horns curled tight
Blowing fountains of freezing breath coming from the warmth deep within
Each bovine steam locomotive chugging its given track
Come sleet and deep snow they plow through

Yet waiting with round glossy brown eyes and frosted eyelashes
For the act of the man with the ice axe
Splitting asunder the frozen water which they cannot
Allowing them a much needed and deep drought
