all we are

The dog
(sunstained ginger)
tears cereal boxes with chortled breath
(a scrap extracted from skin-flap cheeks),
until the sunbeams are dressed in hard-cut edges.

We mirror its destructiveness,
and all our energies led to this:
a messy, drool-smeared carpet
in unlovely beige.

Slopingly, it comes to rest,
aloof and reasonless
in grey confetti flakes.
