A Dog After Love

Yehuda Amichai 1924 (Würzburg) – 2000 (Israel)

After you left me
I let a dog smell at
My chest and my belly. It will fill its nose
And set out to find you.

I hope it will tear the
Testicles of your lover and bite off his penis
Or at least
Will bring me your stockings between his teeth.
