Eva Jackson: 0062

Visit

I stood naked and the dog
Came to me in the shower,
Having snapped its chain
Pulling tail behind like a fan.
The dog
Who gamed gamely with other dogs
But was not permitted to go loose
Because it was a she, an avid she
Capable of straining until the links holding her to the bench
Opened begrudgingly and she split.
