JC Inman #10 The Dogs of Tuding are Howling Morose


The dogs of Tuding are howling
Morose. The caged and strays
Calling stand. Stand.
The last ragged breath
Kicking ears bleeding
Teeth tyred to the road.


A man stands stunned
At the store front
Chewing the emotions of silence.
At heel sons on short leads
Stomachs hardened against
Tyche’s continual kicks


The people of Tuding are crowding
A car parked across the road,
Curious at tinted windows.
A driver despondent
Dogs tattooed to chest
Forcing steering wheel between

Teeth, tears at last flowing ragged.
