there are dogs

renting a house by the beach

that smell salt

as they walk the pier

colors of ocean and sky

fill their eyes

they nose the fish buckets

watch the silver flashes

fishy and sweaty as the sun sets

on the beach they run far and fast

with an eye on the master

what do dogs worry about?

only the dark spot

that stands in the shallows

holding two leashes

hanging free
