dog

repeating the same phrase
over and over
in the twining briars of her senses
or keep the dog tar hence
that's friend to man
or with his nails
he'll dig it up again
deaf in the radiant green
of a strangely pathetic poignancy
that we are missing the clue
a Hellebore arising from the drifts
of snow
a clear transparent medium
through which two pigeons pass
under a bridge
that informal revelation
which is scarcely reduced
