He’s black
Black as night
Always on time
With his bark like an alarm clock
Loving the sun
Like a warm blanket
But the coldness
Fills him up like water
his bark as strong as Zeus
A bark so strong it could shake
the earth
His fur so soft
Soft just like a cloud
The way he walks
Like he owns the street
Bark waking us up
But not on purpose
Ode to the Neighborhood dog
Always there to welcome you
with an open bark
