we don’t have a dog yet
but we talk about it as
a maybe
I’m up again at 2 am to take
the fish in my head out for
a walk
she wants a rabbit someday,
I want her and whatever animal
comes with her
we are water in water,
a crab mingling with a scorpion,
a perfect match
there’s a predator flying high
above her daydreams, a raptor in
the wind
all the insects that I’ve killed
come alive again at night
seeking their revenge
sometimes at dusk I hear a
dog barking in the distance
and hope its happy
the fish stop swimming for
a minute
as the raptor dives in
