and summer is forever gone.

glittering glistening death trap.
Here begins the slow invasion 
of the unrelenting...

Once upon a most wonderful walk, a girl and her seven dogs
Shared an entirely spontaneous and ridiculously rude,
Yet delightfully playful social interaction.

To the dreary, disapproving outside world,

as few dogs
