Dogs Are Embracing
soot is impure carbon
incomplete combustion
of bones in sambalpoor
sandal or logwood
soil for the thirsting earth
serpiginous wounds of torture
earth worms crawl smiling
black sorrows covered in
white blankets of peace
dogs are embracing
in the naked shadows
of our inherent guilt
