This Too Shall Pass.

Bibbity bobbity boo!

The black dog 

Most of us will agree - dogs are awesome. They are loyal, fun and loving. And that’s exactly what Troja, an Irish Setter with a passion for treats and adventures, is.

No matter how hard

           I try to forget

there,

in the future of my memories

           it is always you that

           appears in a forming,

           -an effortlessness-

like desert rainfall,

like the way obsidian

catches light in the truculence

           of its own darkness

           you are placed in mind

                       like a sonder locked within

                       the story of your topaz eyes

           and I find you there hovering

above the vast precarity of time –

within me

           breaking, like

           discovering fire

           its origins at the root

           of your heart
