Stray dogs only come out at night

Stray dogs are the best kind

They are cautious
Because they know the strength of man
When he picks up a rock
But they look at you with human eyes
And if you let them
Follow you home in the darkest hours of the night

Without looking back
You will know they are there
Needing your presence
As much as you need theirs

And when
At dawn
You reach your house
They’ll be gone without goodbye
