a distant dog barking
at three a.m.
because the night is big
and the chain is short
and sometimes
from another dark backyard
another murky alley, lit by bare bulb
from the end of another chain, tied to a different tree,
a commiserating howl.

another murky alley, lit by bare bulb
from the end of another chain, tied to a different tree,
