Sunday stroll around the lake
Time to air
Tumbled thumped
Feelings
Dripping wet
With worry sweat
Up ahead dog walkers
Tangle the trail
A woman
Struggles with her leashed hurricane
Who obviously wants a full on canine
butt sniffing hello
Not a polite passing
Looks a lot like Congo, I thought
As I approach I realize
That it is
Congo
My ex-dog
My ex-wife
And the new boyfriend
Nice day for a walk we agree
Slip the dog a treat
Walk on
Briskly
Unsettled
Emotional spin cycle
Cleanses
Extraneous worries
Trusting gravity’s
Pull
Watching
New moon rise
On the horizon
Invigorating things, walks
