Published in 1998 by Running Dog Press. Living in a little room, working at a hotel in Jackson, Wyoming. The little room was perfect because I spent as much time as possible OUTSIDE.
open the back door

look at the moon

and whistle

for my dog

I'm half in half out

warm and cool

I hear the tv

behind me

my dog is out and in the dark

close to the ground

the ancient sniffing

the intent digging

and hears my whistle

home
my dog hears

in my whistle

the shelter of the den

the warmth of the pack

the shared food

I hear the tv

behind me
