When the Dog Wants to Get Lost



By

Obododimma Oha



When the dog wants

To get lost, it doesn't listen

To hear the call of its owner

It prefers

To run far into the bush

And away from commonsense


When the dog

Runs wild, checking every anus, 

How can it remember home

Or the dead lizard kept for it?


When the dog wants to get lost

Its  relatives become outsiders

The road to damnation

Must be completed in its estranged head


When the dog wants to get lost

It gets lost

In itself, and does not listen to sounds

What more sense

The dog prefers to die.
