Potatoes sprouting
from the couch
made a nice meal
for the ladybug
in my shoebox -
I admire her appetite.

New Door

Drooling god
sniffing at
the doorway.

This one
isn't unusual.

This one
casts the
same shadow
as the
other dogs.

I stopped.

I will
walk past
this god
and take
my first
real breath
outside this
lonesome hole.

That dog
will follow
bury bones
sniff privates
carry on.
