Spirit Dog
I exited the market
and untied my dog.
A hippie from the '70's
travelled forward in time
to deliver a message.
I was disappointed,
when she said
that the message
was for my dog.
Upset, I allowed her to
reveal the secret to Ilse.
"You have a spirit.
You watch over people.
You have a good soul,"
she whispered in Ilse's ear.
To me she said:
"I just gave you
a spirit dog."
I thanked her with words,
Ilse with her tongue.
