Dead grass

Dead grass    the farmer said    they eat dead grass as i wondered what the cows did out there in the spare sunlight of the frosty meadow    the wiser i watched them ambling across the turf and i felt sorry for the cows with nothing to do a hurdle on their necks as if i too were a cropper of dead grass in a bare pasture waiting to be led back to a warm barn and fed ©Laurie Ashton, mcmlxi top
