    Dog’s Life

    Dog lies for all the world like cat


    Basking in the dust mote freckled sunlight
    Every wiry centimetre luxuriating in heat
    No, not a languid feline
    More invisibly alert
    Like a newly hatched lizard
    Dependent on the light for his very existence
    Dog lies with reptilian lightness of presence
    Seemingly asleep
    Yet coiled to spring, retreat or advance
    At the rustle of a treat
    Or the promise of game
    Or the risk of a bath
    Nothing goes unnoticed
    Yet his total stillness fools you
    Fools you until the teeth nip your foot
    To remind you he is omnipresent.
