Heart around your neck,
red metal with your name: MACK,
I say it today.

A black and white dog pauses on a snowy path looking at the person who loves him most.

Just us on the path,
excitement in your portrait
about what’s ahead.

A black and white dog walks curiously along a faded deer path turough wild carrot, goldenrod and tall grass towards a field covered in a low bank of fog with the person who loves him most.

The meadow deer path
led us through soft wild carrot,
fog, clinging to it.

A black and white dog stands happily in a snowy forest with his head covered in small snowflakes with the person who loves him most.

Snowflakes in your ears,
your warm bed ready at home,
no end to our luck.

(two months without you)

A black and white dog stands happily in a field of tall grasses lit by the sun with the person who loves him most.

Every blade of grass
lit up for our quiet life —
happy just to be.

The days behind us,
never asking for too much,
having everything.

A black and white dog rolls on his back in the grass on a sunny day in May with the person who loves him most.

The scent of the earth,
the scent of the earth in May —
we’re both in the grass.

A black and white dog sits comfortably on a couch with his front legs outstretched looking thoughtfully at the person who loves him most.

In my mind you’re there,
stretching happily, paws out,
asking me what’s next.

A black and white dog stands next on a wooden path next to a pond in a spring forest with the person who loves him most.

Spring leaf bud casings
cover the floor of the woods,
soft under your feet.

A black and white dog stands to the side of a path through a snow-covered forest on a midwinter day with the person who loves him most.

In midwinter snow
turned blue we walked the long path
just a year ago.

Haiku-a-day

In this darkest time,
I’m back in this grass with you,
thinking of our life.

A black and white dog stands stands in a forest on a snowy day with snow on his nose with the person who loves him most.

We were out first thing,
curious for the new day,
thankful, together.

A small smoothly shaped piece of ice on a branch at the edge of a deep forest at sunset.

Are you in the ice,
balanced small on a branch,
reflecting the woods?

A black and white dog stands along a meadow path looking at the person who loves him most.

We followed the path
by woods, meadow, river —
never tired of it.

A black and white dog smiles on a path in the woods in winter with a person who loves him and looking at the person who loves him most.

All smiles, all seasons,
we set out in the sunshine,
seeking — together.

Haiku-a-day
A black and white dog pauses on a path in the woods to look in the distance in the spring with the person who loves him most.

The spring green brightness
on a path we took often,
quiet, together.

A black and white dog rests in the grass in the background of a photo of plum blossoms starting to bloom in the spring.

My mother’s plum tree,
around it we were complete:
sun, grass, wrens, zinnias.

Haiku-a-day
A black and white dog sniffs blades of grass among moss on the forest floor with the person who loves him most.

Tiny gentle things
occupied our minds each day,
the tenderest life.
