    The Dog-shed

    Like a dog in front of his master's door
    Turning endlessly around himself
    Trying to catch his tail
    Am waiting
    Biting, cracking, shewing and swallowing
    My dirty nails
    Dreaming of a daily walk with my master
    And tirelessly waiting
    For a never ending trip
    To my destiny's vet
    Tired of killing the fly that sucks my blood
    I blow smoothly on her instead
    Hoping she could leave me alone
    Not bothering me again and again
    Stealing some time of waiting
    for the master that will never come
    Since he is chasing eternity on earth
    And I'm chasing him on earth for eternity
    How could I explain to her the situation?
    How could she understand?
    She , who lives in the actual moment
    The master's obsession with eternity
    And my obsession with waiting
    How could she believe?
    She who dies for my blood
    That my blood is poisoned with him
    As the moment with him is poisoned with eternity
    I know she would never believe
    She would never understand
    So I entered my dog-shed and slept
    Giving her all the necessary time
    To suck my sweet-bitter blood
    To live and die for a whole eternity.

    Interesting poem.
    Something I didnīt understand: in the middle of the poem him methamorphoses into her. Or has the dog two owners, a man and a woman?
    "I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "
