earth

feline feeling fine.
on a carpet spread eagled.
purrs from velvet furs.

night is a black yawn.
drunk on one too many drinks.
head full of day pain.

broken wing sparrow
hops around dead friend’s body.
a funeral dance.

earth smells of honey.
the sweetness of bees’ perfume.
as hives reek of death.

the sun is sleepy.
wobbling in the midday sky.
falling for autumn.

the pretty brown duck
waddles out of the river.
looks me in the eye.
