Jesus had a black dog, I had a daughter

jesus said
,

hey
what’s you doing hiding in the water
where the tub is white and hard
and your daughter sleeps in the other room
?

I went into
the brown room where
the blue rug and
the black dog

he,
too,
fell to sleeping on the round blue rug,
where me,
the black dog,
the nightmaring,
that lantern-head horse,
where daughter first made mountains of moons.
