Embodied Joy: Bella in Snow



a small black dog streaks across a snow-covered field,
abruptly turns, racing back towards me

every sinew of her lithe body calls out joy

our skis move slowly through deep snow
the snow creaks under our weight

breathtaking deceleration to touch her nose to
my hand, retrieving her reward

nose to hand, eye to eye, heart to heart
black on white, all joy.
