How Will I Know You [For months]

For months 
the hot canopy screamed

A sonar pinged 
but at what

We had stopped 
talking to each other

The storm door 
slammed

You flew right 
at me, dumb

graceless I forgot 
to flinch

I pulled You out 
from my hair

Bronze wings 
five red eyes

Expect Damn All 
You said

Expect You 
I said

I didn’t

My dogs ate You 
My dogs, who are also You
