(for Dania)
who owns no indefensibility, yips still.
Fury of affectation contained in a ball
of ruddy cotton fluff. And it jangles,
extenuating the electric furor beneath
and still beneath. Who strains on a lead
who makes haste for the choke chain
and needs the tangle of fur in the metal,
or flesh too, and strains still. And
bleeds even, seeping from the little
pomeranian pulmonaries in a jagged
swirl about it. Ruddy still if lessening
so the flesh beneath the fur is whiter.
This effervescent pup is still alighting.
