walking the blind dog

for wsm

then he walks the blind dog muku

named for the dark of the moon

out to the park where she can smell

the other dogs and hear their

yips their puppy dreams

her one remaining eye is star lit

though it has no sight and

in its bright blue crater

is a vision of the world

old travelers who feel the way from here

to there and back again

who follow through the deep

grass the ruff of breeze

rustling her black coat his white hair

both of them

poets

trusting the blind road home
