55. I Love ... a Dog at My Feet

Especially
when they lay their head
on your foot
or lean their whole body
up against your leg,
being ever-so 
non-challant
but saying -
"Don't think you're going to
sneak way 
without me.
I'll notice."

Head between the paws;
so patient.
On guard.

A noise and it's
head's up!
Vigilant.

Oh - it's nothing - 
back down
with a thump
and a groan.

My friend,
my loyal,
patient friend;
it's so good,
so good
to have you.
