The dogs tug on their lines
like fish
They pull me off balance, damn
I swear like my father
I have no patience
Unlucky animals, I think
they take what they can get
from a woman who loves them
from time to time
Whenever she happens
to turn her eyes toward
the slowly waving feather—
the delicate tail of the world
What's the catch?
