Minor Distractions
mind unspooling
easing my way into the garden
to prune the over eager
feeling well
in a loosely-strung way
excitable dog
threads my legs
I am centered
balanced
dog now barking
chasing squirrels
dog kicking up flustered
clusters of sparrows
doors slam
neighbors yell
dog pissing on the roses
strategic withdrawal
dead heads still
un-dead
wind whip's-up
a spiky shudder
gin and ice
snatched from the fridge
running for cover
