The Truro Bear and Other Adventures: Poems and Essays The Poet Goes to Indiana I’ll tell you a half-dozen thingsthat happened to mein Indianawhen I went that far west to teach.You tell me if it was worth it.
I lived in the countrywith my dog—part of the bargain of coming.And there was a pondwith fish from, I think, China.I felt them sometimes against my feet.Also, they crept out of the pond, along its edges,to eat the grass.I’m not lying.And I saw coyotes,two of them, at dawn, running over the s...eeminglyunenclosed fields.And once a deer, but a buck, thick-necked, leapedinto the road just—oh, I mean just, in front of my car—and we both made it home safe.And once the blacksmith came to care for the four horses,or the three horses that belonged to the owner of the house,and I bargained with him, if I could catch the fourth,he, too, would have hooves trimmedfor the Indiana winter,and apples did it,and a rope over the neck did it,so I won something wonderful;and there was, one morning,an owlflying, oh pale angel, intothe hay loft of a barn,I see it still;and there was once, oh wonderful,a new horse in the pasture,a tall, slim being—a neighbor was keeping him there—and she put her face against my face,put her muzzle, her nostrils, soft as violets,against my mouth and my nose, and breathed me,to see who I was,a long quiet minute—minutes—then she stamped feet and whisked tailand danced deliciously into the grass away, and came back.She was saying, so plainly, that I was good, or good enough.Such a fine time I had teaching in Indiana.
