I peeked out the window with an eerie distrust, As I knew my mom was not going for a walk on the town. I checked the clock of wisdom, 5 past 8 it read… I glanced outside, into the murky darkness, Dubee, Dubee, my dogs name faintly echoed the dark domain. I kept looking, to no avail. I slowly sauntered back in, knowing her leash was twisted with pain, The phone rang; my mother was on the other line, “Dubee’s been hit, she might not make it” Click… My heart dropped as fast as the phone did, 7 years, 7 years I loved that dog, Shattered tears camouflage my face. Hours past, as does she, Reminiscent of our last dog was she. He to had died as well, only he succumbed to cancer. Days of the sun overcastting our porch, As she nested her fuzzy hair to the sky, Have become shades of a season. Her purple tongue clumsily drooped out, As her tail would wag with fulfillment. My mom still unable to fathom it, Her tears cry of loneliness to the skies of endless wonder. I look outside my backyard, still thinking she will be there, A deserted porch plants me back to a desolate realism. Her leash sits outside, no longer ringed to a collar. |

Tomer, from one lover of Damndogs to another, I offer my condolences. The poem was terrific, but cannot make up for your loss, I know. ~wranx In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward". |
