Min Pin In Moonlight
There he stands, small--
a shiny black dog silhouette
on striped brown planks
of house deck;
his pearl black eyes
gleaming in moonlight.
He has eaten his fill--
his long stick legs still
supporting his belly
hammock-style.
His cropped sausage tail
points to a constellation--
a gathering of stars
he cannot see due to mist
surrounding the moon.
"Look at me," the moon invites.
"Yes," the Min Pin whines--
then "No," he whimpers.
It's the shiny buck in the field
he seeks as his companion.
