Literature Text

the rains left you an
imperceptible stain
on the back road blacktop

where once you were a
ragged pile of rough fur,
fat flies and jutting bones

where once you swelled and
stank, stiff limbs and leaking
ends untouched by buzzards

where once you may have
only just been sleeping,
ignored by hands or tires

where once I saw you,
three months before, as you
bounded through falling rain
Dedicated to the most beautiful dog I have ever seen. :(
