there is a spot

in our backyard

at the base of our back steps

where the ground dips

and forms an indentation.

a result of tearing down a house

and building a new one.

settlement.

we have filled it,

and it sinks down again.

into the same size.

and now i have found,

it is the perfect size

for a 10 week old puppy.

it is where he plops outside

when he doesn’t want to come in.

now the spot is filled.

finally.
