1.
I raked my fingers
'cross half slept slits
to peek at yet another rising
Moon gone, stars faded
and proof that I am once again
to live another day.

2.
Trillion year old orb you,
to shed your beams on this dash
the dash that is my life
the dash that separates my birth from my death
I am just a thought
flesh here now, and wind tomorrow

3.
Cold nose greetings
tails a waggin'
eyes a fixed
round yodel of contentment
whole body undulations
pure excitement.
And in a moment
total trust
head in my lap
eyes closed, dreaming of rabbits
paws twitching
running, chasing

4.
And with the sun comes the day
to wash away what went before
although I know I have today
….....how many more, how many more?
