HANG-DOG LOOK

He knows we're going away;
our suitcases lie open,

half-filled with summer things.
He lies, inert - liquid brown eyes
the only part of him moving,

follow my every move.
Occasionally he gives

a sigh so human-like, it's uncanny.
If dogs can look particularly sad -
that's the look he's giving me.
