I Know Your Game

It’s one of those days,
a quiet weekend morning,
chores to be done,
sunlight drifting, a warming kitchen floor.

While kneeling down to fill the dish,
suddenly something pokes my hip
I know your game and look all around me,
and yes, you poke me once more.

In the corner of my eye,
a stick swings back and forth
I look up—again,
as if I don't know you're there.

I call your name, you bark!
My balance gone, you jump up high,
to wet my chin, a sloppy kiss
My dearest dachshund, Joshua.
