discovered bones
discovered…
bones
in Norway
a woman and
her dog nestled together in
a boat 2,000 years …
…
sun shimmers on a muddy
lake in Iowa oven hot
I jump in … my black lab
splashes over me as if
to rescue
I emerge under her belly
between her strong legs
we mingle cold and
laughing over and over
the skinny man
watches
alone unbonded

love the woman and dog in very distant past and in the very present.
Intrigued by the last stanza.
Lovely mix between two people living in different centuries. I love the theme of ‘discovered bones” and their mysterious bond.
