Dogwalking is all I Know
Parallel walking
a tyre on either side of the track
up the soggy road
Hardly Kanchenjunga.
Ahead lies a spectacular heap
of stones on the hill
of stones on the hill
Although fleetingly agile
feeling like bits
feeling like bits
gently disintegrating
like asteroids into the ages
like asteroids into the ages
Unwell, glandular,
not sprightly, dogshit
but not from the night before
but not from the night before
The sundown ahead
Reflecting so wonderfully
Crags and sky
describable only in terms
of oil painting
describable only in terms
of oil painting
Unreality I suppose
A dog yawns
the same
the same
at this hour and at dawn.
Feeling
I’ve been a fool
I’ve been a fool
about friends
Can only look at my
espadrilles sink
into bountiful dung of
espadrilles sink
into bountiful dung of
countless horses,
sheep, dogs & ponies
A crazed sheepdog drops a rock
Before me
I throw it into the stream and he retrieves it,
Pawing it from the water back to me.
he repeats this with boundless enthusiasm
Irrefutably,
This could always be
One sunset
Ultimate.
One sunset
Ultimate.
