Fido

Loyalty
       like a dog always
       hungry
       unbrushed
       damp
pulling at the neck chain
       straight-tailed
       patch-eyed
       fucking rubbish

You face into the mud
       bundle on top

dodge
       alert for the first sign
              of a moving hand

prop
       your spirit
              with laughter

scan
       trees
              for pictures of missing persons

remember
       tunnels
              hacked out years ago

              feel them start
                     to subside

It doesn't matter

It doesn't matter now
