the moose come out
sometimes at dawn
i coo my song softly

maybe they listen
maybe not
i don’t really know

we share a window
eye to eye, staring
until one of us tires

Ali. This makes me think I should have turned out to be a moose instead of a goose.  That way I could hear you.
But, can gooses turn into mooses, and mooses turn into gooses?
It’s gonna hit 90 today so I’ll have to pick up plenty of ass.  That’s how we say ice down in Texas.
For example: Would you lack some ass tea that’s tea with ass in it?
Oops I forgot … we were talking about … mooses? … or was it … gooses? … or was it .,.. …
See how frightfully busy I am these days?
Anyway I may write something on pip about the Texan lingo.
Lack I like when you top stuff on your computer, or rot stuff in your computer.
So leaves with a big small (that’s a smile, a big small) :--------)
Well anyway, I gotta get going.

I love this, especially since we have moose roaming all over our yard and northern NH!!!

No being is indifferent to a song I believe, and when there is love in it as there is in yours most assuredly it is a gift of warmth.

Love this much, dear Alison.

Hugs.
