Dog Granola Cindy Rinne

Spider in the stainless steel sink reminds him about the time his daughter tripped over the garden hose. Fell head-first into the pool. She was three. His wife blamed him. The frog in the pool scolds him for trying to silence the croaking with an airsoft gun. He walks his dog on Ranch Gate Road. Covers his face in hopes no one can see him. The bank can not take his home if he disappears. The dog munches granola, orders him to shut the gate. He photographs dragonflies and feathers as they cling to the sky. Places secrets of the universe in a cardboard box. This side up.
