dawning dusk of my life to enhance
a sense of a companionship
in an abode abandoned by a pet bitch
of over three decades i brought in a dog
whose tail was curled like
the mind of a retarded human
that i tried to uncurl repeatedly
but succumbing to un-success
unwittingly also enhancing
loneliness adding extra weight
and cluttering luggage reconfirming
van Gogh’s ‘misery never ends’
