Dog Bound

Dog Bound


Filling the morning air
Dry raw barking of a
Dog bound confined
Alone sexless in its yard
Yelping with determination
Dementia
The noise of frustrated anxiety

The reverse of cock's crow
Bird song
Mindless joy in the morning air
Dog's complaint
Cacophony without restraint
Slave craving its master
Snapping at everything else

Such want and loneliness exists in
Dog's cry
Cough hacking up the pain of man.

--Jack 7/8/'09
