a dog, love found lost redeemed
soaked through running
toward one another in the pouring rain
soft focus, family dinner, lying on the carpet reminiscing about
high school dates
cancer, death, senility, a horrifying
speech impediment, strength to face adversity,
a cup of coffee, another dog, a sunset shared from a porch’s
swing seat, smallish chance of alien invasion
improbably high proportion of precocious kiddies, mountains,
humorous card games
and songs you wish had remained forgotten
a kiss
fade to black
fade to black
