idyllic sky
on the last day of summer.
rain tomorrow

soil, dried by the sun
unforgiving to the seedlings planted there.
Slugs have eaten the marigolds
and the corn is shrivelled by head.
There's a bone, sun died and brown,
on the top of the parched earth.
Four inches long,
the last piece of our ancient cat,
buried here three years ago.
