Tear Jerker
TEAR JERKER
when he wouldn’t eat
i knew something was wrong
and those helpless eyes
as though he wanted to tell me
he needed help but no voice
when i met those eyes
something old as creation
communication
burned across primordial fires
transcending species gender
“though I love you friend
though I know that you love me
it is time to leave
talk very kindly to me
whispering patting my head”
…………………………………………..
This in remembering all our animal friends that have gone over the last nearly 60 years
