Nice 'leaping' about - Andrew.
I went to Yoga for the first time today in a long time -
I am way out of leaps.

Easter lilies grow

from the old dog’s grave,

four last year, ten

this year. She is a pretty woman,

ginger haired, who tells me this, pointing

a graceful finger - but

she reminds me

of my dead dogs, their old faces

smiling out from

nodding lilies. Easter is

on next month’s calendar

for today is St Pat’s day

when the evening news is full

of Irish frivolity –

green beers and outrageous

ties on parliamentarians.

This year, my friend gave up

meat for lent; as a child

it was lollies for me. All

these thoughts born from

a dog’s grave and the seasonal

growth of more lilies.
