Pinhole

This morning the sky was clear with one pinhole; Venus.
I was at my desk.
My cat opened the kitchen cupboard. My dog stuck his head in.
I reached for my pup. I could feel his monkey belly and chimpanzee elbows.

Last night the moon was a cop's flashlight shining on the street.
A far-away neighborhood had twinkling white lights.
The air was delicious.

"I am lucky, I live alone but I am never lonely," Jackie said.
