Tucker


The sounding

Johnclarestokes 


In the early morning in the deepest dreaming

They come sounding

Scrape of walker upon the concrete 

Spin of cycle gears in the street

Shuffles from a little boys feet

Sounds of son after adventures far

And I wake and peer into the dawn

Perchance the sounds were returning home

And upon the threshold 

It wasn’t Roger

It wasn’t daddy

It wasn’t Landon

It wasn’t Nathaniel

It wasn’t mother

But Tucker.


Today three years ago I found Tucker out front gone, no visible signs of injury. A mystery.
