the dog is on the floor
emaciated
dying, i believe
it started all of a sudden
not like we didnt see it coming
he has been ignoring the signs
for weeks
letting it waste away
and skinny out
skin and bone
all thats left
it played a lot
seemed fairly smart
for a dog
but it didnt get its shots
fed twice or thrice daily
didnt really change
kept acting the same
hip bones poking out now
seeing the waste
human disgrace
what a stupid
hill to die on
to stubbornly
claim
the dog is the same
look how it plays
does it look
sick
to you?
i cant let myself
grow fond
of dogs
these days
they come
and go away
it does not call this spying — it calls it care
come into my area for a while...
ever been to elriel?
