Beagle Hunt

Everything is on Earth tonight.

Our grandioso perspective sheltered.

I take my beagle on a mock hunt.

The sky is closed for business.

Wet dog nose on the back of my knee.

There is no moon to bay at.

If I could wish one thing for you:

It would be that you lose yourself

in a sea of your self.

Children enclose themselves in crevices.

Shrink wrap the world into a small packet.

My dog is pretending to hunt.

I am pretending to encourage him.

There is no sky, just the smell of Earth.

Beagle ears scrape ground,

moist drops embed in fur.

Light is just floating particles,

water, and dust.

If you catch a rabbit

this night will end.
