Laura McKee: rain



cows do have best friends
and become stressed
if they are separated
how do they know
who their friends are really
or if it’s going to rain
but still they lie waiting
bent at the knees


Published 2014. Laura McKee "started writing poetry a few years ago by mistake." That's very British self-deprecation but there's something less recognisably British and more gently universal going on here.
