Jezza
Fate is cruel to dogs
who disintegrate before our eyes
Jezza, of the soulful eyes and wagging tail
agreeable and human
I feel your love
so deep and so pure
but was too busy living
too busy doing
too busy thinking
too busy existing
to reciprocate
Now your days are few
and guilt overwhelms
Jezza dying before me,
broken teeth, and falling hair
my tawny basenji breed
who diminishes daily before my eyes
