option after so many reruns
Sat, May 16, 2009 walk your dog for you
so that he may become accustomed to his new yard with all the headstones,
his fiefdom
romp and be happy here
we learned to roller blade here, remember?
laughed so much
bunch them first in small rows and piles of color
symmetrical with extreme order
my situational autism no comfort
what is shrinking should
walk another circle of pavement
come back over you
spread them broader
than your shoulders might be
redo my steps, scuffing the same circle
fan them
cover you
me
rerun the day the day
the seconds
not the flowers
so many flowers
give you pretty things
surprise you still
take your picture
my stuff
you can’t use it even if I say yes
love
not enough
mothering waste
rerun to nowhere
the whole deal
optional

you are loved by an unending love
you are embraced by arms that find you
even when hidden from yourself
you are touched by fingers that soothe
even when too proud for soothing
you are supported by hands that will uplift you
even in the midst of a fall
you are loved by an unending love

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
Absolutely breath-taking photos Lucy...they take longer to load because of their length though that just adds to the impact. I am curious....when/where was the last shot taken, ....yes/ no? This little animal has such an amazing instinct,....... dogs are wonderful, aren't they?
