When Worlds Don’t Collide

The tethered dog owns a passionate hatred for the foraging squirrel

She bridles at the restraint
Her claws tearing at the dirt
As the jealous eye of her devotion
Climbs the tree in further pursuit

At her feet
Sparrows bounce and skip about

They peck at the ground
Chatter in low branches
And loft to the sky

    Hey Arthur !!!! Its been a minute.

    Lovely poem.

    How’s life, Heather, the boyos? How are you and what are you doing?

    I’m leaving Saturday for a month in San Miquel de Allende Mexico for an artist residency. Otherwise, I’m broke, no studio, and who knows?? Miss you, boyo.
