I wag my tail at every dawn

I am like a mixed breed rescue
that jumps at the sound of a trash bag all skittish
but meets the word ‘now’ with
loyal mystical ecstasy each time.

I wag my tail at love. In any and every form.
I have puppy eyes for all souls awake and asleep.
I play fetch with Gaia,
gently but relentlessly playing tug
with humanity to let go of control.

I am but a divine pet.
a shaggy and smelly one at that.
Tick fleas et all.
What can I say, rolling in the muck
just feels so god damn good ya’ll.
