Quiet nights

On this Monday
I sit on the couch
cushioned between two dogs.

The sun has set.
My evening dwindles.
Time never grows.

It’s quiet outside,
the aftermath settling
from a long needed rain.

One of the dogs
turns to me
eyes pondering.

The other is fast asleep
coiled lazily
into a mess of fur and paws.

In the engineered light,
my pen scratches the paper
thoughts formed into curves and lines.
