No Name for It

If I tell you I love you dear dog you’ll not theorize the matter. You know the difference between longing and weather. Feel it beneath your fur. And you have another advantage. You see what’s in my eyes. 

 

You forgive me my moonless absences, seeing how lonely a man can be. 

 

Then you put your head on my knee. 

 

“I’ve a chin for your theories,” you say.
