Pepper - My Wonder Dog (1999-2008)
We wander forest filtered ligth.
You dash ahead
make your own path.
Climb the occasional rise.
You pause, look back
on Ami and me,
not wanting to lose sight of us
as we saunter behind.
We wander pine, maples and cedar.
You smile,
happy for companionship...
and running off-leash.
Look! A rabbit to chase
into the blackberries.
Night falls.
You gasp for breath.
I do not know how
many more walks
we'll share.
Last Walk
We circle round Roxburg Bog.
Pepper struggles, makes it half-way.
In shaded garden at home,
bleeding-hearts bloom where he lay.
