An experience most pet owners will recognise. It is the imprint of a life on our lives that takes time to fade.


Phantom Paws

I said I heard,
I thought I heard,
his feet upon the stairs;
but memory lied,
our dog had died,
it couldn’t have been
his feet upon the stairs.

The phantoms that surround us most usually are our very own as others might not have the same imprint on them. How very intimate.
