Dogs

[finite oasis]

Dogs scare me
I tremble at the sight
Fuzzy fur
Sharp teeth
Ferocious eyes
I spot one and my legs become solid ground
My heart begins to chew
What my mind spits out

The gnaw marks scream
And my stomach turns to grinding glass

Dogs follow me on trains
Their eyes trace my recognition of their gaze
Dogs howl at moonlight
They whistle too like trains announcing their very next move
Warning me
They honk like clowns from creepy circus shows
And stalk like memories you try to forgo

Not all dogs are bad ofcourse
Just an impulse written by violent affairs
Shaped by the common pretense I should remain prepared

Dogs still scare me
Sometimes they are nice
Soft fur
And loving eyes

Hard to reckon with my mind
That I can’t tell most of the time
Which are mean and which are nice

it's good to recognize whenever something moves you , whatever it means for you inside, is part of you and deserves love, whether it be fearful or soft, love all the same :)

[finite oasis]

THATS SO BEAUTIFUL

[rigid wraith]

.

very raw

and it is understandable

it is quite terrifying to witness dogs

with theirn insane eyes and sharp teeth

[finite oasis]

yeah

[rigid wraith]

like trauma

[finite oasis]

it can be read as metaphor as fear of men

ahem ahem

[finite oasis]

yes

[rigid wraith]

wow

I am so sorry

men are terrifying

[finite oasis]

hahaha

yep

[rigid wraith]

I understand how scary they are

[finite oasis]

like each example can be taken as a man making advances

[charred minnow]

*like each example

can be taken as a man

making advances*
