Rainy day tides flow
even while we lay still
sunny day tides ebb.

To love is to lose
ask me to do anything
there is no reason.

Marley dog – take rest
I will remember you friend
always for the love.

At last the scent ceased
from tickling her black nose -
savoury somethings!

Overhanging weight
swaying –
let go of sight, sound, and muscle
control caves…

My canine gone
letting go – won’t let go! Friend.
Spread the good we made…

Go to her my dear
your sister and her mother
wait to receive you

I guess she is free
dropping her veil, and fur robes…
by now she is ash

To wag when you walk -
to smile despite tumors -
silky black turns grey.

Touch light therapy
animals teach us
I pant some with you.

Cherry Blossom

An ancient Walnut tree
jealously
watches the Cherry blossom.

Who’s there?
Forget-me-not, ah yes –
lovely to see you!

Voices chirping,
skies lighten –
each day, a new flower.

Supple Skunk Cabbage –
wading…
neither skunk nor cabbage.
