At the other end of that morning house…

We stagger home
to find the door ajar
she has left her bowl
quite suddenly.

The light finds its way in
and out
and I remember
where I left the leash.

A triumph
she is found
and there is peace
in the lusty red heart of this home

where only last night
we melted down
to the tired old floorboards
in rolling gails
of laughter
without spilling a drop.
