Memories of a childhood dog


No matter what
The years
May
Whisper
In my ear,
There will be
Surprises
Still.
There are
Nights
That hide
Unopened
Gifts,
Days
That wait
For me
In unmatched
Colours;
And yet
Your
Eyes
Will always
search
The space
Between us
With silent
Hope.
I am
Old
Now
And shedding
Memories
Like leaves
In autumn,
But
Those that
Remain
Seem
New
Sometimes.
I do not
Seek
To know
The reason
Though-
That
They
And
You
Are here
Again
Is quite
Enough
To see me
Through
Until
I’m not.
