Pack<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the night,
\n<\/span>my husband disappears
\n<\/span>from his usual spot
\n<\/span>in the bed,
\n<\/span>my groping hand
\n<\/span>finding him
\n<\/span>flipped around,
\n<\/span>arms hugging
\n<\/span>the dog at our feet,
\n<\/span>where I join him,
\n<\/span>both of us forsaking
\n<\/span>the lonely comfort
\n<\/span>of our pillows
\n<\/span>for the shared breath
\n<\/span>of the pack.<\/span><\/p>\n

Devon <\/strong>Balwit is a poet and educator working in Portland, OR. Every morning, she uses the height of her dog’s leaps as an oracle to gauge her fortunes for the day, then writes and writes–hoping to produce a thing of beauty.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
