If

If Doestoevsky wrote
children's books,
he would have written
the story of Dog Dogovich,
who discovers a bone
in a snowy field,
and isn't sure
whether the bone
is a gift given to him
by God, or whether
this is actually
one of God's bones,
meaning God is dead.

Lamentation barking
would occur,
with the barks
reproduced
in Cyrillic letters
that would go on and on
until the author died
and Dog Dogovich
was left alone,
wondering what to do
with Doestoevsky's afterlife.
