BLACK DOG

there is a black dog on fire in the yard
it does not understand
it does not understand the yard and the mixed blood air

the black dog flexes the muscles of its neck
they are dark ropes on fire
the black dog does not understand why the air smells like mixed blood

the dog shakes the body of a rabbit in its mouth
the rabbit shakes into air
holding up a mist of blood

there is a black dog on fire in the yard
it is a dark bull
it is a dim cave
it does not understand
what makes the air into blood
from the rabbit and the shaking
of its body in his mouth

all is temporary: the ground swells up with fine tipped green ribbons and grazes the foot of a dog, once black, once ember hot, once clear as a rock at the bottom of a glacier stream.

The black dog needs a good caretaker
