earth note 686


even as i type the words
     dog park
i feel the quiet eyes
focusing intensely
on the page
the head tilts a bit
the gnarly hair stands
     at attention
the nostrils twitch toward
the canopy beyond the ridge
there's heat rolling in
like a steamy tide

leaving our eyes to follow the trail
for the shadows
