Sound of Connection

    The scared puppy

                    in the rain

                            started to cry.

A boy’s whistle

A puppy’s whine

“I hear you. Where are you?”

Around the corner

                  In the park

                         Tied to a trash can

A clinking sound

Clink clank

Clink clank

The falling rain

Drip drop

Drip drop

A little yelp from the wet pup

the young boy’s voice,

A soft tone,

made the puppy happy.

Reaching out to untangle the chain

Going home
