First frost –
a frog croaks
fireside dogs dream…

Raven 05/15/2008
Raven in the road
claws scrape the hissing asphalt
on garbage day.
…
(Raven in the road
waddling to and fro’
his father was a duck!)
Robins 05/02/2008
Robins read their song
from the sheet rain
drumming accompaniment.
…
Soaking down
birds shower
free.
Marley (1995-2007) 04/28/2008
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.
