separation anxiety

He knew he was in trouble
some small section of his doggy brain
reminded him -
you ragged the sofa
the armchair
his shoes.


I looked at his soul
through his brown eyes


I suffer from separation anxiety
he said
I can’t help what I do
it’s like ADHD
or something

What could I say to him?
I should’ve left the radio on
but he’s never told me
which station he likes.
