Guilt and Regret
55.

she laughs at the memory
of her first visit to my house
with floggers lining the stairs
and enema kits in the bathroom.
Her husband warning her to be careful
of people she meets on the internet
but I was trustworthy
and it bacame a beautiful friendship
and she looked after my dogs
when I stayed away.
I miss those dogs;
miss the nights I didn't come home
and left them worried;
miss the weeks when they lived in London
while I lived oop north
missing their happy faces
and their too-short little lives.
