In bleak light his flickering eyes
kick through the smoke
watchful legs appraise
the carpet of death beneath
my brain speaks the gibberish
of the kids back home
the taste of 'what if'
a bubblegum of thoughts
in my mouth
his nose can hear the footsteps
of death
my ears can smell the warning
in his bark
hark hark
the explosion
within
a flame,a candle
what dog handler
could handle
hollowed by a landmine
was a dog's grave
/original/z.g.
[reads an epitaph story
a dog's life
ends in glory-ED]
