Lawrence,
Thank you for this series of moving poems.
All the best for the new year (that here on the West Coast, hasn't quite
arrived yet) to you and your lit-ideas colleagues. May your dogs make
shadows before you on the trails you used to walk.
Robert
Running free at the river
As they did, when one
Was out of sight too long
I would yell “Ginger”
Or “Sage” as the case might be,
“I don’t see you,” and the one
Missing would pop out from behind
Some bush or tree.
“Okay, I see you now,”
I’d yell and on we’d go.
This morning, Sage
Kept looking back
Waiting for me to call.
She had never before
Been here alone.
I felt the urge
To yell once more.
Perhaps I might
Compel her to rise
If I but yelled.
“I don’t see you.”
