The Dog's Eyes

Albert Roig

"This water, sweet and poisonous, that you kindle and pour— What hand brings it to my lips? What wind rains?"

I

How all’s aglow with you near

dozing, pure green, glass,

purest flower, dark teen

of salt.

II

And now.

Like the sand you rest

your sleep on. The listless breaking.

You unwind

the thread, a hand.

You weave, a breath.

No, do not wake,

not yet!

III

And in today’s skies

if you were kept against its papers,

vigilant flower.
