By Paul Lojeski
PROMPT — Despite ...
Old dog limping along,
stinking up the avenue.
Remembering narrow
roads when he still had
his strut, that swagger
only young dogs show
off, a little jump in each
step, sharp teeth ready
to rumble in the dark
just before dawn on
that California road.
Hot for trouble, for
anything in that cool
breeze calling his name.
Paul Lojeski was born and raised in Lakewood, Ohio. His poetry has appeared online and in print. He lives in Port Jefferson, NY.
