beautiful inconvenience

out at the goats
fixing the fence by torchlight
while they watch,
chewing thoughtful –
shaggy and heavy with lamb.

between trees
walking home
the sky is black with stars.
there is no need for lights
our feet know the way,
step carefully
along the billowing clouds
of the milkyway.

 

goats on the chickenhouse roof
