my young dog pulled her tie-out loose again
Daisy Mae followed Luke Duke out
into the country
followed him to I guess his love nest
in the middle of
the farmer's two hundred acre
corn field where she finally
got the plastic covered metal
wrapped around several
corn stalks
I could hear her baying
from a mile away
come rescue me. Luke Duke came back all
tired and refused
to help so,
I dived into
the field of over my head corn stalks
in August hot sun in Alabama
and followed the howls
row between row
until I found her.
Daisy was jumping grateful
corn silk dangling from her ears
ten or more of the farmer's crop
pulled from the ground
and twenty more firmly holding her still.
She and I  ate corn for a week.
