Tonight's dog walk

 



a half moon hung among the branches

and behind the trees stained velvet sky

sent the children home but also sirens


they came in droves learning the approach

modified for pairs of teenage jackals

the tiniest possible skeletons and wizards


we could monitor the door throughout our wanderings

along the path that winds between the trees

but no one tripped the light above the steps


rabbit and seal parents confessed their plan

to consume the bounty of their charges' words

bypassing both threat and vulnerability
