there's a puppy down the road
living on the church steps.
nothing on the mind but maybe
diggin up a bone
leftover from the barbque
on sunday.
a celebration complete with a band
and grown-ups dancing away,
children running the lot,
chasing each other,
calling over to the pup,
wanting her to play -
jumping in puddles leftover
from the rain,
rolling in flowers grown up
to the neck,
where the honey bees collect
pollen for nector
to take to the hive,
drones busy working
creating a golden delight
dripping slowly from the
honey comb in the old oak tree
across the street.
but the pup stays on the steps,
the dust blowing by
from the cars careening their way
to the work place.
and prepares to run
going into the day
that's waiting.
