Dream Dog
In a dream
you can walk only
a dream dog.
The one whimpering
at the foot of my bed
for breakfast and a walk
gets me up and out
on my dream walk
with him, nosing
amongst the stimuli,
the herbs and fungi,
till - yes - he squats -
oops! - was that
on the bedroom carpet?
I wake distressed -
of course dream dogs
don't mess real rooms -
but one move from me
and the damn
whimpering will
start up again.=
