Why'd you leave me?
I still hear your laugh as you waved goodbye
Do you remember you parked right by my window and played my favorite song one night
many nights after you'd left
Now I'm stuck in 15 on catastrophic 8
wondering if you even remember me now
as I'm standing in front of your empty house
I guess you're really gone
I close my eyes
I take a breath
And I'll leave on the count of 10

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
