For Cassie: Home We Aere
by Richard PaezFlorida sky
So blue you could swim in it
Cassie careful-footing
Cassie nose a-dripping
And I'm arm-stretched,
Arm-stretching
Wide-limbed and spread-eagled
Swimming...
Cassie prowls
And Cassie points
We're home we're
Green-Grass sway and
Blue-sky spread
Waiting
We've put the books down today
Found some bones to chew
We're home we're
Cock-eared praying
Pointing at nothin'
And pleased 'bout it
Yes we're
Cock-eared praying
we're home we're
Finding some bones to chew
Putting down the books today
Me and Cass a-prowling
Waiting for Ma
Deep down under
Your Florida sk(eye)
So blue you could swim in it 04/23/2007 Author's Note: I was wrong. But at least Cassie was and is still with me.
