dot and daisy felt a shudder when the farmer dragged away their ageing hidebound mother now standing tall beside the gate on loss they come to ruminate with little chance they might escape the churning of the dairy day but still they have each udder

around cold states
the gulf of understanding

clouds of dreamers
sleepwalking
to their certain fate

so proud
of creaking stocks
for wrinkled turkey necks

wattles and daub
dis guising

on sharp and silent wings
as they seek out where to lay
