    One-person sunset on the beach. We weren’t there To witness the selfishness.

  • Leo’s Back…

    Our rescue dog Leo stopped eating several weeks ago. A trip to the vet revealed his liver values were too high. After tests showed no signs of disease, the assumption was he ate something toxic. We will monitor his liver function over the next six months, but signs are that he is on the mend.

  • Only a Dog

    She’s waits for me to respond From the comfort of an easy chair Where I could speak to her in complete sentences, Wave my hand Or, sing a top-40 song, For she’s only a dog With high expectations And direct knowledge of where The biscuits are kept.

  • Aging

    Left my cane at home, Ego. Dyed my white hair brown, Mistake. Hiked up a mountain, Breathless. Aches and pains abound, Youth gone.             —

  • Introspection

    Every few decades I put the TV away And wait for darkness to overtake the room, While I ask, who am I? The first response is gunfire in a canyon. Birds scatter, dogs howl and a rescue team Scrambles for answers Until the search is called off And I no longer see my hand, Only…
