God Problems

The problem of the dog’s loneliness.
Take the dog to a hotel
or make him the
departmental head of the Ministry of Loneliness.

He prefers chicken to steak,
Hollywood diets, all that.
No amount of ethanol, cocaine
or dog-driven narratives
in dog-directed movies
can satisfy my hunger for home-coming.

Bone coming.

Your fingers rest on
the door handle, but
you have not yet entered
and I am barking.
