For the Sake of a Dog

the barking tune of a dog
magnetic pair of

        [two]species:

simpering man and a pensive woman.
their feet stagnant, standing
stiff like the rock of Gibraltar
there’s a waiver raised for them
funded by the central
bank of (L)ove, recommended
by his Lordship: Canis lupus familiaris.

in thanksgiving,

          are about to
    enter into

this new kingdom
       of dogs.
