The untamed thing

Commonweal,  July 16, 2004  by Jean Gallagher

Allow somehow for the untamed thing.
Shy, slippery. Severed, whole, severe.
Who brought it? It brought itself,
as the ocean does and does. It brings itself.

You be the silent farmer playing up the ground
for its harrow music, made half of dirt
and half of the metal attentions, turning.
Skim off the what you would.
What's left is the untamed thing.
Which you will forget, you can't help it, into its verbs.
