Twilight.
A boy and his dog run
across the field
the grass soggy
from the recent rains
and an absolutely luscious shade
of Emerald City green
the golden spaniel's ears
flapping like kestrels behind her
she springs like a springer
and I could swear
as they run past me
flicking specks of mud
and grass into the air
that she is grinning
like a banana split
and I want to be that
bonkers kind of happy.

Just like that.
