dogs – Leaf And Twig

Wild Tundra

roam freely
between the wild
and tamed places

summer morning before the heat
the garden issues her invitation
and even dogs make plans

snow day
get outside
and play!

they know to slow and cross single file
then resume full tilt running
on the other side

No, you’re bigger
you
should’ve swum out for it.

late for the vote
but nevertheless
greeted warmly

up ahead
on the trail
our scouts

“I can’t hear you.
Say it in my ear”
“I said I think we lost the ball.”

That’s not six feet.
It feels like six feet.
Well it’s not. It’s three at most.

Is my rugby costume enough?
Will they give bones?
Where are all the other dogs?

guardian at the gate
the iron lab
waits
