the dog that bites into chocolate – 8/9/13

8/9/13 10:48pm – 8/16/13 1:16am

the dog that bites into chocolate
(the dehydrated daughter)
(solving awkward)

if you give it long enough
any hand will find a pocket
wanting to be out of sight
an eye jumping from a socket
but do not feel sorry for
the dog that bites into chocolate

she says anywhere else would do
with a well-timed sip of water
you wouldn’t think so but all’s said
in the second that it bought her
mechanisms of defense
quench the dehydrated daughter

if you gave it long enough
any hand would find a pocket
you must not feel sorry for
the dog that bites into chocolate
