Frustrated saliva, like bitter leaves…
Lawn Candy
+++++++++++++++++++++
My Ridgeback stalks the front lawn.
Stands on point,
I sit back to empathize
Squirrels are Hershey bars
that temptingly zoom out of reach.
We have not eaten sweets in a month
Their tails dangling tauntingly,
furry Eskimo Pies,
chocolate side down,
the sticks in the air.
Why talk about cruelty
or the bloody shame?
They are just a pair of creamy whims
that fly and tease a meter overhead.
So marshmellowy,
our stomachs rumble.
We run behind,
leaping up into low branches..
Now we’re falling,
open paws, empty-handed.
Frustrated saliva, like bitter leaves
nothing left to do but woof
woof…woof
