low cloudstwo children skip to school
flattened lavender

overcast, chill winds
The lavender stalks blow over
standing ripples on the pond
where fish used to swim
Three houses over a dog howls
forlorn and alone
no-one answers.
Even my dog is silent,
indifferent to his suffering.
She's been past his house
doesn't care that he watches her
from a living room window
but if she feels the love
she'll pee on his lawn.
