lazy rain
the solitary blackbird's
dawn chorus

tucking her in the extra deep breaths

whimpering
a dog tied to
the hospital

finding
the monster
an MRI
zaps my head
into slices

(approximately 7 years since my MS diagnosis and 11 years since my first major relapse)

night before the eclipse
the setting sun
puts on a show

the village 'character'
chatting to everyone
her yawning dog
