walk the dog,
inside the scene
another smaller
figure, who has
left the island
and an even smaller dog
tied to an armrest.
inside these,
waves form
on the lazy swell
of a sheltered sea—
the dog looks at the figure
who in his heart
has to fit
and barely does
and in the figure in the
heart
of a dog
what plans
the heart can know
nothing of.
