the gate

the gate needs
oil, some screws
tightened,
a board or two
of wood replaced,
some fresh
white paint where
her nails would
scratch when
she saw me
coming, it
leans and doesn't
quite close or
catch, the dog
with her heavy
paws has worn it
down. but she's
gone now, and so
i rarely even
bother to pull
it tight anymore
and i like it fine
just the way
it is, unlatched.
