The start of our walk,
your nose filled with forest life,
us, a part of it.

The softness of May,
you, out in front and looking,
I imagine it.

A black and white dog walking by a large clump of wild asters blooming in late-fall light with the person who loves him most.

We’re here a moment,
asters feeding bees in fall —
there’s no other life.

in between our walks.

and dream of our life.

A black and white dog stands seen from behind with a small flower tucked in his color with the person who loves him most.

You’ve been gone five months,
five moons have waxed and have waned,
darker and further.

We’re both made of these
dark floating constellations —
contained here, briefly.

We were close in, small,
here on this side of the moon,
