# In The Flesh Of Man

Does a man dream of a dog, or is the man dreamt by the dog?

An illumination of soft blue
A haze of cooling color

Shimmers with a gentle hue

And binds with power of iron collar &nbsp;

  

Vibration overtaking in piercing hum

Every fiber of my waking flesh

Head, torso, limbs go numb

Mind falls blank with final thresh

  

The sweet whiff of stirring scent&nbsp;

Rouses my dreamy sleep

Inspiring hunger as intent&nbsp;

Senses itching for the creep

  

Paws lift into creamy dirt

Tail sways in breezy gusts

Ears perk, sharp, alert

Joints groan, eyes adjust

  

Day has begun&nbsp;

With sun golden bright

Being spent in constant run&nbsp;

Hunting, chasing, for my delight&nbsp;

  

Serrated teeth snap&nbsp;

Jaws bite down in force

Closing around like a metal trap

Meal is fit for the main course&nbsp;

  

Flowers pass, as I race by

They dance and jiggle in merry dance

And I frolic through against purple sky

Howling songs of pure romance&nbsp;

  

Then at last when day is done&nbsp;

My head lies down, calm and weary

Reminisces on times of fun &nbsp;

Places and faces, warm and cheery&nbsp;

  

So with a grumble&nbsp;

I sit up awake

Fantasies they crumble

Hopes they ache&nbsp;

  

Though still one nagging thing&nbsp;

I'm left to wonder&nbsp;

Am I tired man dreaming dogs in spring

Or resting dog nightmaring man blunder
