A black and white dog stands in a meadow with blue chicory blooming next to him with the person who loves him most.

Dog with shining eyes,
smiles knowing that I love him,
he blooms with the field.

Us and grasshopper,
out on a big sky blue day,
all still setting forth.

Cold fall afternoons,
ecstatic spring green mornings —
none of it was small.

You’ve been gone three months,
I live in different time,
I’m here or here or...

The great piece of turf —
dandelions and grasses,
and our luck, our luck.

Picking up the scent
of brown-eyed Susan, bee balm —
only gentle steps.

somehow, still have you.

you’re back on your trail.

You loved your people,
on a sunny day in spring —
soft-eyed and ears flat.

every place that you felt safe
your long happy life.

Your fresh contentment,
walked through each deep forest,
filled up every room.

You, at the center —
the heartbreaking commonplace
that’s now empty, gone.

A black and white dog lays peacefully in the grass in shadows and dappled sun looking at the person who loves him most.

In these cold shadows
I try each day to make sense
of where you are now.

Haiku-a-day
A black and white dog lays solemnly in front of a doorwall in shadow and light sun looking at the person who loves him most.

The door freezing shut
at dawn sounded like footsteps,
I thought it was you.
