we walk with our companion,
a female of the species, I presume
although it was never checked...
some say leashes are important
others disagree - for all I know
neither point of view is correct
as nothing is ever absolute...
nothing is spoken between us
we walk in silence, finding
comfort in being together...
and when it is night and cold
we curl up together under a
tree, my head on its shoulder...
mornings find us both awake
standing on the river bank
completely our morning ritual,
and once bread is broken and
water shared, we both without
the slightest word, decide to
continue our journey... and,
after several days of following
the river, we come across an
unknown town with unknown
people milling about in an
unknown fashion... and once,
greetings are shared we are on
our way, except my companion
decided to stay behind a while,
no animosity is felt between the
two of us, especially since we
were going nowhere in particular.
