Let The Dogs Out
Be a Poet ...
stop trying
to become one
give yourself up
to the sound
Within your lyrics
are so many
pleadings
feelings disjoint
and impound
Open the gate
and let out the dogs
the last fox
almost over
the hill
Scream
if you must
those whispers betrayed
until all that’s been empty
— is filled
(The New Room: September, 2025)
