The time will come
when you no longer race for the phone
one less place is set for dinner
and the dog,
accumstomed to sleeping beside the bed
in an unbreakable habit
with paws firmly planted
just where those missing feet
would strike the floor in the morning
now sleeps on the far side of the blanket
keeping it warm
against that moment when the one who left
finally returns

Patience perfectly embodied. Nice work, JT.
ReplyDeletethank you kindly, sir.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the reason Im not commenting on your blog is that you are on Word Press and it doesn't recognize me as human, apparently. It's not because i don't see your stuff, I just can't do anything but nod and smile.
