From Peru to you

A visit to Chatham Alpacas of Chatham, NY, leads to some thoughts on the raising of exotic animals and the cuteness of large ruminants. For some special photos and discussion, go to blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Transplant

It grows cold here
part of the year;
and at times the sweet grass
is almost golden
with sudden sun --
it strikes across the field
at such an angle.
And it feels easy,
almost natural to run,
the trim Hudson breeze sifting
aimlessly over silky spun
September coats.
How odd and yet
how perfectly at peace:
you never knew Peru.
