Poetry without comment beyond thanks to Hannah Lim for use of the image.

Have you ever heard
A dog barking
Because it’s been
Left alone
And thought about
All the other dogs
With their super hearing
Also listening
To the strained howls
Piteous whines
Wondered why
They don’t reply
Must be used to it by now
