Jim Harrison :: A Dog on a Short Chain



Jim Harrison was born on this day in 1937. 

BARKING

The moon comes up
The moon goes down
This is to inform you
that I did not die young
Age swept past me
But I caught up.
Spring has begun here and each day
Brings new birds up from Mexico.
Yesterday I got a call from the outside
world but I said no in thunder.
 
I was a dog on a short chain
And now there's no chain.

- Jim Harrison, 2009
