Train Chaser

Dog and train
howl together

one always one
second behind.

Matt Dennison

Waiting for Better

After scraping
scratching
raking
digging
watering
planting
flowers
grass and
plants

I stand
in the doorway
drink in hand
looking out
calmly
watching
waiting

for any moment the beauty
better than
wine

better than old
tigers

better than any
of us.
