colombo dogs

fatigue and hunger color their eyes
a mother with a shredded ear flap
lost long ago in a bloody battle
now healed over with tan hairs and time
a pack of 4 sitting by the roadside
coats thick with grease and dirt
distended sacs of their sexes
clearly mark the reason for this overpopulation
they only glance as i jog past
too tired to chase or play
as i would expect
