Just me and the hounds
This time around
Spit-tooth jaws, soft-soled paws
Like moss feet
And grass-fed cows howl
Near the back plot
Storm, coyote, or young love on the run
A pasture for pleasure
It all stirs em up after a week like this
But just me just me
Just me and the hounds
A quiet weekend is hard to come by sometimes
Harder still when all my week days are filled
With the things I gotta do to pay my bills
And now at last
There’s nectar in my glass
Screen door, back porch
No bugs that bite
Just fireflies
Hey ain’t that nice
Just me and the hounds
And the fireflies
