I used to run after Pepper
around the red wall,
me in slippers,
him with the bone.
Until age, little by little,
came to claim my breath,
and I would collapse, exhausted,
into the armchair.
Then, from behind the wall,
his happy muzzle would appear,
one eye lit with mischief,
as if to say:
Shall we play?
