Dog Dream by Adrienne Jones
I think it’s time we heard from Adrienne Jones again. This one’s from Walking Down the Street in the Spirit Place.
Dog Dream
By Adrienne Jones
loneliness is a vicious black dog.
he chases me
as I walk down the road to school.
fangs bared, he must bite something.
I break off pieces of my pencil
and throw them away
for him to chase.
I wake, alone,
and sit down to write again.
