The Leash
Fourteen years, each morning the household dog
watched, first patiently then impatiently,
for the moment of setting off to the park.
‘Keep still!’ – by the front door, while her master bent
to fasten leash to collar, she’d still herself.
Always this was the moment when he’d feel,
to his surprise, a little rush of love.
On its hook by the front door the leash hangs
now superfluous in the stilled hallway.
