Just Be a Dog. It Would Have Gone Better.

group home or our home? 
uncooked soup or not eating?
there's only one choice.

Teacher Tired

August 18, 2021 / firmlov / Leave a comment
broken copier,
mushroom chicharrón tacos,
and this sad puppy
it's only Wednesday
of my first week back at school
and exhaustion wins

Bull-Hearted

August 10, 2021 / firmlov / Leave a comment
like this worn-out dog
i have nearly given up…
yet, i’m a Taurus.
and so i garden
though it, too, is a failure
stolen by flowers
this year’s loss, in pics:
weeds and grass and tearing out
for one little heart

Road Trip 2021, Day Seven (Pontoon Life)

July 21, 2021 / firmlov / Leave a comment
a day on the lake
clear, glistening perfection
formed by hills, glaciers
with a loving pup
and our nearly-grown daughters
the day is a gift

Perfectly Fleeting

July 5, 2021 / firmlov / Leave a comment
my pup, lake, camp, board:
seemingly perfect weekend
(calm before the storm)
the weather plagues me
sending wind when there was none
and stealing these views
if i could lift wings,
glide pelican-like, headfirst,
it wouldn’t matter
alas, i must walk
through all the humanoid storms
that we’ve created
