This dog
brought out the best
in everyone who ever
petted him. His heart
outweighed his tiny
form so uncomposed:
less bones and skin, and more
of fur and crazy hair. With
nose and eyes and one
last fang! And
stumpy tail
to wag awhir
perpetually
emotional,
this late last
spark
has gone far out
has shot to stars,
to hang above
and shine and bark
to promise everlasting
trust, and to remind
the best in us. Which
he brought out
when fussed
and mussed
and loved.
Dog please,
remember us.
