morning roll
as the darkness recedes
dog's howl
© Rachel Green September 2024
a factory gate was open,
the building derelict, abandoned,
and the space around it filled with saplings.
Foxes hunted rabbits
and local druggies sheltered
under makeshift dens of pallets and tarps.
The dogs wandered amongst the ruins,
unfamiliar scents making tails wag.
Teasels bloomed under the August sun
the sound of bees, busy,
and a cat, crouching, wary of the dogs.
