The Doghouse
Disenchantment at the doghouse.
Passion cools
to curse & sense,
perfect,
beyond the shadow
of a doubtful cur.
Familiar scent
of a stranger's air.
Teeth & splintered
chops down cold,
or red to running
on purpled howling.
These wet work meals
that pop & please
on empty beds
of dust & dream.
A mutt for all seasons,
I am
outdoors, you know.
Disengagement at the doghouse.
Cooler heads
that laugh at cold, hard
reality...

(Beautiful stanza that pops and sizzles off the page with lost directives and longed-for memories)
This piece is so sad and yet there is something else to it. I don't want to say hope, because that feels as though it was the one that made the dog house. I think Souladareatease is right, this is heavy with reflection and acceptance. Almost like you knew the game that hope plays and have used the rules to your advantage. If that makes sense.
Anyways, great work.

Raw, strong and captivating. Metaphors of the finest! I love your unconventional style.
