THEY WAY SHEEP MIGHT LOOK AT YOU
Price: €550

Size: 17” x 17”

Early in the gloom of a winter’s morning,

a sheep looks up and catches me staring.

For a couple of minutes I hold his gaze,

while the other sheep continue to graze.

We communicate, that sheep and I,

while the rest of the world whizzes by.

I wonder just what is he thinking,

he wonders, I’m sure, just why am I standing

in the biting grey cold of a winter’s morning,

staring at sheep, and yawning.

After a minute, he turns away,

and dismissed, I go on with the rest of my day.
