A dog said hello to me today-
I replied with best manners,
although I find the canine tongue
tough to approximate.
He said he wanted bones.
I said i’d get them.
Returning bearing armfuls
of marrow, shattered ivory
ripped from tusky ribcages
and stunned livestock
I came to see red fur on red
fender, and I carried him away.
