Arkansas back then
I was around nine-years-old
hot, hot summer day
I was watching two dogs
who were bound together
male dog and female dog
couldn’t understand what I was seeing
was transfixed at the scene
finally they parted
he yipped and howled
at the same time
she became frisky and playful
bouncing up and down around him
but he wasn’t having any of it
no . . .
he wore an intimated
hang-dog look
as he tried to move away
the female took out after him
through the bushes
of the neighbors yard

The animals of our childhood continue to exist in videos in our minds that never fade.

Beautifully rendered memory, dear Jerry.
