Miyagase Dam with Dale-chan

“Let’s play catch!”

Dale-chan the border collie waiting for me to kick the rubber ball she found in the park last night.

She wasn't too thrilled about posing for this shot until I held a dog treat just below the camera lens.

Took Dale to Miyagase Dam so that she could play in the lake. She hated cars as a pup, but now she loves going for drives! Her lead is tied to a the belt seat and wrapped around my leg during driving. If Kyoko was here, she would have rode an Kyoko's lap. Really miss Kyoko during these "family" outings. She would have prepared the best picnic basket full of American dishes and traditional Japanese dishes

Failure

Like barbed wire,
tied in knots around your chest.

Like falling into icy water,
while gasping for your breath.

A sudden numbness,
erasing feelings and desire.

Shame of weakness and fragility,
envelopes you like fire.

Sapped of energy, vitality,
and strength to move on.

Turn away, close your eyes,
your insignificant first-world problem.

Four White Pills

Watch the pain,
let the abscess grow.

Ascend the slope,one foot down,
knees cracking under the load.

A lonely street lamp casts convulsing shadows
fleeting across the cobblestones.

Four white pills with a cup of joe,
eyelids heavy,saved by insanity.
