Inspired by Janette Maxey's 'fu dog in the hood'
sunday afternoon lifeline: the fu dog in my hood screams
'come save me from the sun!'
his marble splinters to scorch my skin against the pillow,
shadows between sheets,
cool air to kiss laughing leaves. i drift out of sleep & see
a red band around his shoulders:
he is a gift from the city council, caught in our freedom
illusory & sparse.
