First Line: The hound I've known for three years
Last Line: And might not recognize when he gets there.
Alternate Author Name(s): Harrison, Jim


The hound I've known for three years
trots down the mountain road
with a nod at me, pretending he knows
what he's doing miles from home
on a sunlit morning. He's headed
for a kind of place he hasn't quite found yet
and might not recognize when he gets there.
