The Dog Tag Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

The Dog Tag



Spurned and dejected
I loop a collar.
A noose I become
primed for hanging.

My tree is chosen.
A sturdy branch selected,
high enough, from whence I'll swing,
my feet skimming the ground.

My body shall
twist and twirl and dangle

beneath

the noose

that'll keep my breath not present.

Suspended, my soul shall flicker away.

Of me,
only a dog-tag memento
shall remain.
