Begging

Contributor: Robert League

I'm just a dog, crazed
little mongrel with madness
whiskers, begging
at the bottom the table,
hoping for the taste
of some leftover, a fragment
of the meal you are sharing,
share with me, turn to me,
notice how I wag for you,
how I would lie in the floor
and wait for you, notice.
