MASTER AND DOG

As perfectly 
nondescript or 

peculiar
as ever—two smudges 

of undulating grey 

and brown—

one starry-minded, the other 
more

snow-regardant—

content
to keep—disappearing

reappearing, re-

disappearing, re-reappear-

ing—rather independently;

consistently diverging, each to expect 
and resolve
a whole new vast
host of momentary 

urges and motivations,
before—

silent,
soft, and
slowly
as the few flurries 

falling— 
rearriving 
neatly together—in their 
fully-

shared
willingness—to once again disembark.
