a brighter organism
by Charlie Morgana dog barks, her yaps stir me;
an organism that doesn't split hairs.
one who separates herself from mankind,
de facto yet de jure gives it the edge.
somewhere exists a person, who is now
causing pain to a lesser, which is more;
that makes Tuesday a same-day journey.
i stretch my belief in 'aspca' and God;
assume, one more time, the stance of a man,
nearly cured, nearly a saint[sins and all],
one who is in a lone line of his own making,
and is continually looking at all who are there.
and my lovely gift of nature yaps once more;
soon she will tame her universe and once again
leap to my side. walk onto my lap and paw away.
i reinforce her and pour-out my strokes of love.
as i am the patient, she the healer.

I wish I could love her more. |
