Two-Headed Calf, by Laura Gilpin

Tomorrow when the farm boys find this 
freak of nature, they will wrap his body 
in newspaper and carry him to the museum. 

But tonight he is alive and in the north 
field with his mother. It is a perfect 
summer evening: the moon rising over 
the orchard, the wind in the grass. And 
as he stares into the sky, there are 
twice as many stars as usual.
