#thingsIneverheardbefore: Chandra Livia Candiani from "Silence is a Living Thing"
: : : What dogs are looking for : : :
A dog ran and ran in search of its absence.
It didn’t know it was running toward the sea.
It followed the course of a river, from scent to scent.
When it reached the estuary, it watched the river die into the sea and felt a great, familiar longing.
At that moment, a leaf detached from the branch of a tree and flew over its head.
The dog was home.
Neither bowl nor bone.
