Sleeping Dog
from Out With Lanterns, a daily poetry practice
Is there anything more perfect than a sleeping dog? Fully relaxed, not a single muscle engaged, soft snore from the throat. There’s beauty in watching them twitch then breathe deep, trusting even while not conscious that they’re safe as always, warm in this house, with these people who love them a preposterous amount.




OMG the best!!!
Oh so true. Mine is doing exactly like that right next to me, right now. So lucky💗
