Dog Companions

Monkeys are cute but are not domesticated animals
Dogs are domesticated and cute and our best friends.
Choose a dog every time over exotic pets and you will be happier.

April 3, 2019: Waiting for Happiness, Nomi Stone






Waiting for Happiness


Nomi Stone



  • Dog knows when friend will come home
    because each hour friend’s smell pales,
    air paring down the good smell
    with its little diamond. It means I miss you
    O I miss you, how hard it is to wait
    for my happiness, and how good when
    it arrives. Here we are in our bodies,
    ripe as avocados, softer, brightening
    with latencies like a hot, blue core
    of electricity: our ankles knotted to our
    calves by a thread, womb sparking
    with watermelon seeds we swallowed
    as children, the heart again badly hurt, trying
    and failing. But it is almost five says
    the dog. It is almost five.
