first lala started wandering in circles and
pulling me along in her orbit and then i
felt so wobbly and we were both getting
magnetized by that tree that you and
i together couldn't get our arms around
but its power seemed to wane once we
stumbled closer stopped watched the
beige sides of its fallen leaves return
ambient light but as if from beneath
so that there were mini search beams
reaching back as i bent over to pick
up the poo, and when i added my
torch we nearly swooned again the
ground tilted and we had to ride it
bent kneed the rest of the way lala
was straining on the lead but not
ahead, sideways as if to mark her
value to be free but also bound or
to bring me along to her agenda
striped with shadows in these lanes
confounding cats for pumpkins for cats
while at home she will lie by my feet
