Mongrel

she a stranger; parasitic
he's vulnerable and injured
he's dying, day after day
why can't i care for him

whimpering at the alpha
that's all i'm doing
craving servitude
leaving the rescue delayed

i won't come in time
it will be too late
his bark is the allowance
forcing me to stay

i could yip and yelp
appeal to his heart
but he is content
begging for scraps from the table

so i sulk
tail between my legs
pining for his attention
reluctant to chase my own tail
