    Stray                                                             border crossing  by Judi Van Gorder

    on a courtyard bench

    scruffy black stray
    invites a friendly hand

    bloody sore oozes gore
    stays the stroke
    evokes a hiss

rumbling along

every Thursday, late afternoon

the rumble of trash containers
being rolled down to the road

breaks nature's silence
at my mutable mountain lair,
drum roll of erased footprints
