our conversation
had a generous feeling
of unique association
the JRT’s propriety
was immaculate silence
waited ‘til I ran dry
yipped affirmation
I know my fantasy
is more a need
that loneliness
manufactures
than bending his ear
but he held my gaze
unstintingly
acknowledged
without comment
remained a wiser dog
kept his tongue
for licking – so no-one
misconstrues
the symptoms

Hey Ivan!
ReplyDeleteI guess we were both on the same wave length...
with both of our entries this fine Sunday. You'll have to check mine out to see what I mean.
I enjoyed yours. It's all about knowing when to remain silent...
