Hot Air In Our Faces

I saw you walking in the dark with your dog.

I walked beside a fence with the baying neighborhood hound on the other side, and I was sure that you would hear the howling and turn to catch me following you.

I saw you walking in the orange glow of the mercury vapor lamps at the elementary school with that little black dash trotting by your side on his leash.

I followed in the darkness. And when you turned the corner, I walked thru the orange glow. Then I came to the corner where you turned, and I peered around and whistled.

You looked, but I was hidden, and you went about your business, but the dog heard that familiar sound and came running back to the corner.

And I saw your smiling face as he came. And I saw his wagging tail when he found me. And the wind blew hot nighttime air in our faces.
