The Milk-snatchers (or The Bloody Wheelbarrow)
Animal Rights Poetry By Heidi Stephenson From All-Creatures.org
Poems of compassion dedicated to the non-human animals who share this planet
with us and the people who fight for them.
The Milk-snatchers (or The Bloody Wheelbarrow)
By Heidi Stephenson
Too much depends
upon
the bloody wheel
barrow
Glazed with pain,
calf slaughter
beside the pale-faced
mothers
A reworking of William Carlos Williams’ famous 1938 poem, The Red Wheel Barrow
