You’ve been quiet
I’ve said too much
You can’t take it back.
The dogs howl under the porch.
The cats fight over entrails.
All is confused.
The dogs under the porch are ghosts.
The dogs are walked and their poop is gathered in the twilight.
The ghosts of the dogs howl under the porch and the cats are spoiled.
Did I say the wrong thing?
It would be good to say the wrong thing,
to say anything is wrong
when
all
is
wrong
and I howl under the porch.
