Best Wishes

I wish you a white dog, the touch of her fur and
tongue, and six sided snowflakes to melt on your skin.

I wish you wide silent roads and a dog who watches
falling snow, a dog whose joy feeds your own.

I wish you brown horses wearing purple blankets, safe within
the angles of their paddocks, still against a backdrop of sugar
flakes and tinseled trees and a dog that leaps and dances beneath.
