Mica Firefly
-All dogs go to heaven.
Filled you with breath,
reeling in silver cord .
Little soul, howls song like life depends on it.
Squirmy wormy ,moves her world with her tail .
Moved mine with love and a cold nose.
Waiting behind steel,
never to sleep under the hibiscus bush again.
I will come to you, fill your veins with poison ,
See your spark cross the sky to Eden ,where there is always a bone .
Pray you’ll forgive me .
Hold your body one last time, kiss your face .
Lie at my brothers feet, he loves all sentient beings.
As your life drips from my hands, I flog myself with our memories .
