drunk

lying out on

my hillside

calling out

to the sheep

the farmer

has moved the flock

one field to the next

lambs to ewes

are calling over & over

ewes calling their lambs

to reconnect & feed

& I am drunk

lying on my hillside

aware that this noise

will go on all night

until all are rejoined

baa! baa! baa! baa!

& on they go

baa! baa! baa! baa!

so I join in

stupid drunk

baa! baa! baa! baa!

fooling no one

this fool on a hill

baa! baa! baa! baa!

but no mother

comes for me
