Pensive at Pulang.

(Updated) The Maami gets a box of chocolates for this:

Clutched between two paws
and a slightly wet nose
You come to me, in silence

And in your silence I find
the music of hills. And even
while I break
the moment with the snap
of my lens. The quiet remains,
all giving.

One of the pictures from Pulang, Himachal Pradesh. He is the most pensive and quietest dog I have ever met. Look at the way he ruminates, looking over the blue hills. I wish I could write a poem about him.
