Cave Canem Nigrum - Beware of the Black Dog



I dreamt of You,

Black Dog,

Two weeks ago:

You were biting

My left Hand,

But I resisted

And freed Myself.


Paris, 2d July 2024

Below, the well-known Roman Mosaic in Pompeii, Ist century AD.

A black dog for a tragic poet: it sounds quite ironic.



I love dogs a lot and dogs love me too, but the Black Dog is not a real dog and it would not be nice at all, if it was one.

Morrissey too, he knows this awful and cruel Black Dog very well...


Artwork made by me today, remembering the nightmare which has inspired me the short poem I have just written.
