Numa sits panting
Comet watches the window
awaiting the chance
to see something new,
something different.
They both eschew
anything,
everything
until they can take a walk
go for a ride
run and hide
a tennis ball.
I have smudges
on the windows of my car.
By far
this is the best
that I could ever achieve
all that I can believe
is this moment,
this instant in time
that becomes all mine.

Author's Note: Numa and Comet are beautiful dogs that have come into my life....
