Come Running

flinging rope bone across yard
barely landing
all muscles engaged he
runs after it intent on
retrieval

no need to learn this
began as a puppy
barely able to run a straight
line

he grabs the fibrous toy
and turns around
loping back
breathing hard
ready for the tug of war that ensues

he could play this game forever
in the sun
on the lawn
after a day of students and talk

ears flopping
tail never stopping

Hazel Rah!
