— bard of night,
keeper of metal.
furious light flaunts no avatar.
shadows chant a sequence
of deathly ire. loam, dearth and girdled to
silver mane of canal.
Dos has died.
father took him into an unfamiliar curve
wandered off into a reverberating
disquiet.
i have buried him
together with all loyalties — concealed
him in thin space, decreed him
all dogdom with unction,
swimmingly now, still you go, leaving
us. it has been six years and all eternity's motors gnash
afloat is the bird
and in the nearby ken is another dog
panting in death-daring heat,
Dos has died.
