untangling the web

poetry about and photography of everyday happenings and sights

Luna (not Dora) the Explorer

Sun low in the Western sky, a

single bird with

cheerful song flies

over our heads.

 

Through the freeze-fried grass to pond’s edge,

footsteps crunching.

Luna, ever

the explorer,

 

sniffs and paws at each new smell, sight,

always present,

a reminder

for her mistress.
