I love the image of the foal, most of all, with its essence of vulnerability and how you slide it to the 'nursing home'--razor-thin pain that lurks behind all our brightness.

I had just watched the video of his reading of the poem about Iraq on Maureen's blog-- I hadn't seen her write up-- fabulous. I did say that to her. Thanks for reading this.
