Sara's Hand
Sara’s hand
flutters at her waist
Shaking
ever so slightly
The dogs lunge against their fences
Some are barking
Some are snarling
Rover and Lulu and Ace
They see her going on her walk
Everyday, ever since they remember
always at 11
The night is dark and nobody is around
But that’s just how she likes it
Sara is getting old
She can sense it but
so can the dogs
and she dreads her shriveled skin
Once beautiful and lush
First she passes Rover’s house
Just four more to go
Then she passes Lulu’s
A street light
illuminates the path
dancing on the concrete
Finally she passes Ace’s house
and there is nowhere else to go
So she turns around to head
home
And she smiles
