Late Summer ii by Kristina Woodhillthat moment during fall's bounty
when I search out
the neighbor's
lazy-eyed blood hound
sweet talk him with
chunks of raw steak
beg him to let me borrow
his generous, awesome nose
then wander out among
our Concord grape vines
and inhale like a fool-hardy balloon 09/15/2018 Author's Note: Edit

my more culinary reaction is to put a dab of peanut butter on your upper lip, just below the nostrils... |
