The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Walking Josie

She strains at the leash
all eagerness directed
with singular intent
and energy exploding
in muscles hard with constraint
rippling as she drags us on.

She glances back
her grin as wide as heaven.
