Playing Rummikub
obsessively with cousins
every evening.

Nighttime dog walking—
a billion stars overhead
surround half a moon.

I’m lollygagging –
sitting in bed hearing the
robins “cheeriup.”

Men stand at the grill
slathering naked chickens
with church secret sauce.

Red fox crossed the path
but the tail was not white-tipped.

Beagle howls next door
ev’ry time his person leaves.
Such a mournful sound.

On morning’s swamp walk
a cottontail led us down
the old railroad bed.

Dog’s head on my feet—
he wants me to sit tight and
rise only for walks.

Why, oh why, didn’t
I finish mowing the back lawn?
Here comes the deluge.

The sunflowers and
cosmos are growing out back.
Anticipation.
