Kyutkyut* Poem by RIC BASTASA

he meets me at the door
of this empty house
and makes a lot of noise

his terms of endearment
his mode of affection

i hear him like saying

'hello daddy! happy father's day! '


he licks my ears
and rubs his small body on my feet
and my wife, his mommy
takes him into her arms rocking him

our new baby, Kyutkyut


*our new puppy,
(we're childless for 12 years)

arf! arf! arf! arf! arf! (bark and bark little puppy)
come to daddy and mommy


awoooooooooooooooooooo!
