I appear to be missing

Vipassana

my dog barking 
at its own 

shadow a stranger 
in the house 

who looks like 
me and I

seem to be
somewhere else

possibly walking
an unknown dog

possibly in the
house talking

to my shadow
or the dog’s

or already
on my way 

to somewhere 
else entirely

    I like this poem it sends its message of confusion as to where one might be with such poetic style. Loved it a fave

    This is me staggering in on a Saturday night, taking the dog out and realising after a mile there's no dog on the lead.

  • Karoline

    Okay, you convinced me, I'll dive into my existential side again 😭
    Loved reading this ❤
