The list of who I’d die
For is very short:
My wife, my kids,
And my three dogs,
Except I just lost
One and was never
Never close to death.
Suddenly, she in just
One day collapsed
And I stood helplessly.
No mountain lion
To face nor speeding car,
No insane madman
Nor falling star.
She curled up inside
Around her wound
And died, no plea
For sympathy, no doubt
Or questioning. It was
As though I’d let her leash
Slip through my fingers.
