a lost dog
without a collar
wandering the streets.
so i pick him up
and bring him home.
i feed him,
bathe him,
give him water,
allow him access
to the yard,
and let him sleep
in my bed
at night.
and then one day
he bites me for no reason,
drawing blood,
leaving a scar.
so i let him go.
i shoo him
out the door.
maybe he wasn't lost
after all.
