Idolatry

[Quixilated]

Hello, I like the imagery in this one.  The puppy enthusiasm is very expressive.   Wasn’t sure if you were looking for critique, so I put the two edit suggestions in a box, open/read/use however you wish.  I enjoyed the read. 

Idolatry

In the beginning
I was the puppy

ears pricked
tail furious
peering out the windows

It is confusing for the puppy/N to be gorging and gagging in the next line but to be the one being eaten here. For the poem to make sense to the reader, it works better if the N does all the eating.  Or if the N must also be eaten, we will need some context. The title and everything else about the poem seem to say that the N is the one who is fixated/worshiping/consuming to the point of obsession. Then later the poem says the shapes are indigestible, which leads the reader to assume that is why the N is gagging after gorging, but that only works of the N is the one using the spoon.  
You could have eaten me  (fed?) 
with a soup spoon
but consumed me instead  (gorged/glutted, choked, sated, filled?)


with shapes and shadows
indigestible, sublime

I gorged and gagged,
gorged and gagged,

(and might have forever
gorged and gagged The subsequent lines belong inside the parenthesis for the sentence to make sense. The “had I not” refers to the words inside the parenthesis.  

had I not gotten my snout slapped
for my own damn good)

I slunk away 
in that defeated way 

that only a puppy
could slink away
