Restless

Restless

the washer water

is rising to the line

the giant hands

that turn time

have cut into

the pie face

and taken

a generous slice

the dog

relieved himself

on the fern

and thought

it was funny

and that was

before coffee

and Myrtle the turtle

didn’t make it

her tiny funeral

last month

reminded me of

Spidy the cat

who went out

for a walk

and never came back

his elf bell collar

a warning to birds

was found in the forest

and whatever got him

wasn’t wearing a bell
