A Little Lamb in a Field Just Outside the 2020 Fence

Little lamb
so soft and so sweet
your black eyes
so sparkly smooth
like hopeful little marbles

the way you chew the hay
the way your dreamy hooves
press the sawdust
pillowy, my god your little steps
make me sigh
everything about you
is like a cooling breeze

Be careful little lamb
don't stray too far
there's some bad bad shit out there
past the dreamy hills
and tickling grass
a pandemic and greed
aching jealously
loads of lingering spite
broken eggs on linoleum floors
and people too

Little lamb you are better off
as I imagine how you are
soft as a heavenly harp
hidden from view

stay safe little lamb
I'll be thinking of you

I'll be thinking of your silky soft fur fuzz
