KALI

I see a strange dog outside our bedroom window.

Free dog roaming leashless.

Not like our dear old Kali, always in need

Of restraint.

Still, her namesake is wearing out with age.

More bark. Less follow-up.

Could be dog-world envy.

Her worn out hip. His agile gait.

Free dog smelling our laundry.

Kali safely inside.

Your red shirt dripping on the line.

Made in India. Great bargain!
