Good Fortune



My little pup, Carmen, has found a spot near the door
She will occupy each time I leave the apartment. And
No matter how long I’m gone, she lies there waiting

Patiently for my return. Now, I don’t claim to know
Exactly what she is thinking, but I assume she believes
Her settling down in that comforting and customary

Place has something to do with an assurance that I will
Be coming home, and hopefully soon. And placing fate,
Chance or habit aside, at this point in both of our lives,

And as the best of good fortune would have it, I always do.
