Yellow cow

         after Avery's Bucolic Landscape

Inhale the scent of withered grass
hear buzzing thistle bees
and scratch
behind my ear; please,
rest here, graze with me.
As sky looks further up from ground
where hedge rows loom ahead
these thistles guard their blooms my dear; please,
pat my yellow head.
Let's watch the day go down the way,
that path we'll never tread; please,
stay here while the grasses sway,
come scratch my yellow head.
