After he visited the vet

eunucch he came out

emasculated

tonight he is drugged from the amputation

of his balls

the surgery

and he cries a little

he is a sad sight

yet to smile at him

I look at his head in a cone

and he could be a space dog

feeling ill from the trip

in space

wearing his mask or helmet

and longing for his mother

to never leave him again

he pecks at his food

eats

while the river roars and flow on the music

and ice cream is shared in the living room
