Dog in the Field

dog in the field,

collie black and white,

sleek, graceful

circles left low to the ground.

sinks to lying down,

nose to the earth.

swift to move right,

deft, silent,

drops down,

alert and watching.

ears twitch

listening to directives

only he can hear.

intuiting instinct

only he knows

he steers the invisible sheep

into the invisible pen,

awarded top marks by

the invisible ‘One Man and His Dog’.

and the man

on the path

in the park,

sees only the screen

on his mobile phone.
