Knox said the heavens spoke

and warmly suggested

we head to the dog park.

When I demurred, he said

it was never a good idea

to argue with the heavens.

Reluctantly I agreed 

and off we went for him to play

until completely spent

which, indeed, was heaven sent.

Full moon glistens

on ice covered pond –

night’s departing benediction.

I don’t know how,

but Knox always seems to know

when we’re headed 

to the dog park.

His tail wags harder

as he prances to the car

and on the way

he sends me encouraging nods

and “Good Girl” glances.

Once there, he signals his approval

with a quick look back as he dashes off

to renew old acquaintances 

and make new friends.

  I wasn’t that hard to train after all.

The sun sets,

the moon rises –

the soundless slide of time.
