Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Beau: Golden Retrievals by Mark Doty Beau: Golden Retrievals Fetch? Balls and sticks capture my attentionseconds at a time. Catch? I don't think so.Bunny, tumbling leaf, a squirrel who's—ohjoy—actually scared. Sniff the wind, then I'm off again, muck, pond, ditch, residueof any thrillingly dead thing. And you?Either you're sunk in the past, half our walk,thinking of what you never can bring back, or else you're off in some fog concerning—tomorrow, is that what you call it? My work:to unsnare time's warp (and woof), retrieving,my haze-headed friend, you. This shining bark, a Zen master's bronzy gong, calls you here,entirely, now: bow-wow, bow-wow, bow-wow. ~ Mark Doty Love & Peace, Mazie & Amos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
