The old dog dreams, legs in rhythmic
Strides, chasing balls, sticks, jumping through
the lake.

The young dog whines, always needs
Attention, interaction, praise,
a kiss.

The middle aged cat weaves through my
legs, begging for sweet chunks of meat 
in sauce

Outside the chickens cluck for grain
Clucking and calling at the door
hen pecked

The horses nicker and whinny
Demand the hay, grain and carrot's
arrival

Rays of sun blocked by blackout drapes 
Time perceived to stand still by the
dark room

~~~ * ~~~

The meeting closes, eyes adjust
Standing to relieve the pressure
back aches

For a moment I'm included
A scratch on the ear, a kiss
on the nose.
