Damned old fool
for forgetting
about me
and leaving
a neglected dog
to this misery.
It's a cold night
out here
and he fell asleep once more.
My barking
cannot penetrate
that farmer's closed door.
I thought he once adored me
but the whiskey bottle
has taken my place
and now
it's a human addiction
which is a godamn disgrace.
I am slowly closing my eyes.
I have a few gasps
to live.
Yet here he lies inside
with no more love
to give.
He lost his good wife
many years
ago'
The healing process
succumbed
to an undertow.
The liquid devil,
himself,
filled one bad lung
leading to the breakdown
of the saddest song
ever sung.
You're a damned old fool
who lives
on his own
leaving your best friend
to die out here
all alone.
