mother dog with her litter

the invisible birds in the grove
held court in the trees
and the breeze made pathways
between the tall and unruly grass;
and the crisp morning air made my nose cold and wet;
and the walk pleasant and quiet
interrupted by the occasional tricky stone and slope;
and in company of random thoughts
and gathered whispers weakening of their own accord:
and then, unexpectedly, I saw the mother and her litter
in their quiet but active life
below a lone tree…I slipped by slowly, silently
careful not to be a rude appearance in their love and stillness
