Analysis of Dog Love

Jela 2007 (Žilina)



I'm like a dog, waiting on you.

Waiting for you to come back.

Waving my tail around, knocking down glass.

Unaware of the cuts on my tail.

Sitting in front of the door, waiting.

Just staring, longing to see you.

I will be good, don’t worry about me.

I won’t bark.

I won’t make a mess anymore.

Just come home.
