Furnishings
Furnishings
House furnishings
dogs’ facial hair,
also called furnishings
and we are entrapped
by the furnishings of our mind
Naming, judgments, reactions
clutter the creative field
Take a walk with your dog
watch her wholehearted attention
to pee-mail
it’s all the neighborhood news—
her mind is not cluttered
although scent receptors are
Then living only in the moment,
she moves on
Might we too, with such ease




I loved "pee-mail." 😊
Your poem gently reminded me how easily we furnish our minds with labels, worries, and judgments, while dogs simply read the world and move on.
Thank you for this quiet pause today.
