Fruit Basket

Life in the country

Melon collie faces
Straw buried toys
Ban Anna’s teasing

Breakfast was bread
fruit, juice and scones

Mornings in the barn

Time to come in boy
Ya Papa ya

Crossing the troughs
Of black current depths

Distracted by helping
Man Darren’s chores

Sun sets on a farmer’s day

Greeting the twilight
watching that old man go

Thinking of my piglet
And her sister Honey suckle

And another day
To begin après cot
