I Believe in God Dog

Dog of all angels
do not hide from me,
I love you.

[pob lwc, God, now go]

No Dog. Not you. I pray
nuzzle my hand and comfort me.

[God, you are a jealous god]

Dog, walk with me all my days
through grass-bladed memories,
wind-blown, back to all beginnings,
forward in furred dreams to all futures.

[God, see Dog’s essence. He is holy.
Get thee gone, Jehovah, conjugate with Satan.
Deity/devil: two sides –  one tin coin]

Dog, dance leap and growl.
Now I can believe. See you in me.


pob lwc - good luck (Welsh)
