Sniffing the dead

dogs


He cares not where
he goes

away from

He sidesteps her
heart

nosing it about


His tail
wags

without joy

he trots in the

weeping

moistens

ready to be

my mind churns with them

I have no idea

They carry me along

But I am fine

The drip, drip
Fleeting raindrops

Soggy underfoot

Gravel path
To nowhere
Distant lands
Undiscovered

Walk there?

Dark shades of green
Glossy
Heavy with
The wet

But

Clivias

Glow orange

In the
Back yard
Of my
Life.

Why in God's good name are you not pushing this?

You have the bully pulpit!

I idly watch
The pickup ahead

Plain white truck
Stopped in the sun
Red tail lights

Abruptly
And
He steps out
Calm, unrushed, observant

A Greek god
Strong, bare shoulders
Classic frame
A crop of curly brown hair
The easy stance of power
