BONES LILACSA few of the sun bleached bones he finds walking these Truckee woods he keeps. He favors the least damaged ones & places them on the mantle above the stove at home. They act as vague reminders of an earlier time & events to come.I love lilacs. Hell, I love most plants, but I love lilacs especially. They take me back to the 40s when I was a smart kid, made whistles out of their leaves (to show off)& knew nothing about beauty.LATE JULY IN TRUCKEE OUR THREE DOGSThe daisies that flourished in June are dying, but there's still a few survivors out back.I take scissors & cut four that are bent over hugging the ground & stick them in a green wine bottle filled with cool water. They add color & an illusion of hope to our living room & hang on for five days.The dogs follow me. We have three,& they follow me room to room.Pack animals I've been told.I'm their leader neither wolf nor dog but dominant man. Feeling this responsibility,I try to be fair.I believe they love me or have me fooled.77
