1.
Four lucky dogs live
Because she rescued them and
No one’s shot them yet.
2.
Neighbors hate the dogs
Who bark at neighbors’ talking
And at cats stalking.
3.
Cigarette smoke dwells
On dog hair, broken hardware,
Windblown doors, gnawed bones.
4.
In Mazarrón, wind
Climbs the dusty roads, spreading
Chalk on garden rocks

Hey you two- its been about 30 years- but I’m glad to see you ‘que todavia sois aficionados de la vida espanola’.
where are your travels taking you next? Australia sometime?
Jo, great to hear from you! After a couple months back in the States this summer, we are up in the air. But sooner or later we will take a swing back your way. Glad to have your email. Hasta luego!
