Beware of the dog

You could just guess
what happened next

when the city opened
its carnivorous flowers,

how the dogs of the night
barked at us,

how we chased love
on those streets,

whistling for it
the way you'd call taxis,

and how we shed the past
in rusty small flakes.

How they covered
everything.
