back into your busy world
how far you’ve roamed
little lamb
chased away by barking dogs
on the hunt for a scent
nothing to do with
the likes of you
further lost day after day
tip-toeing on pins & needles
the rock tricky
& occasionally vertical
hopefully opening to a surprise
on the other side
another sleepless night
gave way to northern winds
bringing with it
dreams of the future
retracing countless steps
back into your busy world
june two thousand twenty-one
