Barking too

Night time, she coughed...

and woke a sleeping dog.

The other side of the park.

The dog howled and others joined in

Owners showed their mettle by barking too.

This was the most industrial action
she'd seen in her life time.

SafeTerrain

Somewhere between
blue air and
turbulence.
Spirit drunk,
I keep company
with four walls
& a grey dewy morning

And I'm in safe terrain

I live in a neighbourhood

Up on the hill tops
Oak bed posts have stood forever
But as we descend the hill further
her bed frame can hardly take any more
Her place surrounded by
a war zone of refuse and shards of glass
As she does most things men ask
Until she has enough to cover her rent.

I live in a neighbourhood.
