Easter Day 2012
stretched out
full length
upon the pavers
breathing her
relaxed kelpie
breathing, content
to live with
the doggy mysteries
of door and window;
dreaming perhaps
of the world
beyond the gate
she’s visited
often enough
to yearn for more
but lies so far
beyond her doggy
reach – unless
the Daddy
lift the latch
