Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Sentries, a triad, stock-still,
standing at attention, ramrod straight
watching over the yard, guarding our back
watching me, as I check their presence
out the window, air seeping in
If I look carefully, I can see them
locking their heels, rising straighter still
watching over the yard, the house, the birds,
squirrels under their canopy,
the days passing by
guardians of the fenced-in,
enclosed space
behind the house.
