IN AND OUT
by Jane Kenyon

The dog searches until he finds me
upstairs, lies down with a clatter
of elbows, puts his head on my foot.

Sometimes the sound of his breathing
saves my life -- in and out, in
and out; a pause, a long sigh. . . .

That's nice, Saije. Yours? It makes me miss my dog, a lot.

No, Jane Kenyon wrote it. I like her poems a lot.
