Replying to a comment on:
2838 Denise Dr. Troy, Mi. (Free verse) by Bachus
Goulash & knitted blankets
A basement that went on forever
Lilac bush big as a shed & in full bloom
God, the smells.
My Uncle Bruce's Siberian Husky 'Jenna'
lived all year out back.
The most beautiful dog ever.
Loneliest chrystal blue eyes I've ever seen.
The squirrels would piss her off
staying just out of reach,
but then, with no warning,
my uncle would go out there
with a 22 rifle and a hot dog
still hangin out of his mouth and,
CRACK! CRACK!
Silence
smoke
wisp
...
thud
slight bounce & twitch
Then the dog would be on it
As he slid shut the screen door.
