9th August 2020

 

overcast
in the birch tree
a chaffinch' song

friend's dog
breaks out of the garden
kills the neighbour's cat.
A serious upset
screaming, crying
all quite justified.
I'm upset, too
and Lu and I dig the hole
and bury poor Sooty
with a snack for his journey
the dead Raffles

There will be more fallout
and probably well deserved.
