Samantha, Still, Always.

1.
Last night you
wandered in my dream
tail wagging

A little skip in your step
your brown eyes
big, wide and begging

A hello long overdo

2.
The ruffles in my sleeping bag
Cling where you should lie
and feel nothing like fur.

3.
Once wandering,
we found a dead deer
And you

In solemnity
Barked
once
And lay nose nudging
her feet

Saying, I'm sorry
I'm so sorry, We
Didn't make it in time
Like you were best friends

4.
The conversation
We had when you were dying

You waiting for me
Then looking fervently
Into my eyes, asking

And me saying, yes, yes,
It's fine, I'll be fine.

5.
Me, on the beach alone
Searching for somewhere
to put my head
To mourn.
