The Path Out Back Behind the New House

by Luc Reid

Tired accountant
His excitable yella dog
Path behind the house
Half-collapsed garden shed
Very dark hole overhung with blackberry bushes
Dropped stone
Several seconds
Silence
Many more seconds
Silence
Thirty-eight yards of wire fencing
Enclosed yard
Safe dog
Barking
