Feeling Powerful
like a giant stalk of rhubarb
I stand my ground, defying the north wind
do your damage, I say, confident I will remain standing.
Whomp! a dog tail slaps into my thigh.
I am down in one solid whoosh.
Back in the day I could have jumped right back up.
A delighted dog is licking my face as if it is ice cream
His neck is stronger than I am
I am laughing as I try to push him away
Not feeling so powerful now
