What Smart Dogs Know
By Roger Weaver
When to sleep,
where to go,
what toys to keep,
who their friends are.
Leaving
By Roger Weaver
It was a quarter after
eleven and time
for him to go.
He who had bonded
with him was leaving.
Stubborn, I knew
it was coming,
his departure, but
when it came
I was elsewhere,
and most there
at the same time.
Parting without
departure and
welcome our
next time together.
