content to just live
on the porch with four legged company
cars racing by to what I wonder as
I sip my first beer of the day and Missy
panting sticks her head in my hand
wanting touch and enjoying the sun's last rays of a calm good day
Daisy Mae and Luke Duke
are more energetic
youthful
they want to dance
Missy and I just want a peaceful evening
growing grayer
touching a bit
a bit of brew and water
the trees and the birds bedding
all of nature making their night beds preparing
watching us watching it watching them
as if we had their energy
reminiscing
an old dog is good company
