If only everyone would sit still
and allow me to investigate
a year for each of them
a thousand questions
I feel the momentum of closure
coats and kisses on the cheek
but I have only just begun
I’ve barely breathed them in
are you kind to your quietest self
I want to ask
this and other plunges
meanwile the dogs outside
wait for their owners
walking in circles
sniffing each other
so bold
so private
I envy the simplicity
of their dance.
