[MD] it is

[Ron Kulp]

On a heavier note my dog has been crippled by an embolism, it's become a
full Time job. 

No sleep. Going to give him another week. He's getting heavy.

 

 

As children, death is quick

And unseen.

As I grew older I witnessed

Life ebb from mangled flesh.

 

I have killed and I have saved

 

I have cared for the injured

And the terminal

But now after the hours spent

With Rob at hospice last year

It all has his face.

 

I care for the dog and he is me

My father my wife.

 

I am reminded again about

The daily misery of sick and broken

Flesh.

 

Helpless agony

Stained by piss and shit

 

We wait, comfort, and hope
