Tired Dog

boneless tounge
hanging loose in your jaws
give a sigh
fit for a human
and snuggle down
your eyes follow a fly
but your head

you give a feeble attempt
and standing up
to no avail
your eyes close
your ears turn
like a satalite
you open one eye
peer at dog walking by
and fall asleep.

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
