Getting back into the car
after buying
cookies from Asda,
a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it
little bundle of brown,
there I say, on the fence.
Marbles for eyes,
tail like a question mark,
hair the shade
of twenty sunsets.
I point it out,
body half-bowed
as if to whisper hello
before bounding away,
swallowed by the leaves.
