a poodle
a very loyal one
that wags its tail that looks at you as
God
that stays with you in bed
and sleeps with you
in so much comfort
that provides you the needed
warmth
that company that even a lover
has not given you
proof of
something everlasting
who does not like you?
a dog, as dogged as you
as pleasing as a poodle
always a dog
forever yours and who does not
speak the words
you speak.
