20 February: SOCS Prefix

A.I. Artwork in the style of kay nielsen, gouache, watercolour, pastel, ink. A beagle howling at the sky

Trumpeting

A neighbour’s howling
beagle’s
spitting at the sky.

It’s a proboscis sound,
as if one’s skull
is harmonic.

But even a howling dog
has to wait
for a tree to come by.
