Your Pet Loss Poems
'Snow Moon 2009'
by Michelle Deeman
(United Kingdom)
warmth in the
February charades
Dog toys lay untouched on the grass
yesterday covered by snow, hidden
Those entreating eyes, those sacred soulful eyes that once hankered for pleasure
Your breathing hostile
Told me it was time to let you go
You and I
Bold of mind
Hearts breaking
made the journey to the place of partition.
I held you hard
conveying tones into your ear that gave you joy and security
Your head pressed against me as you sniffed my scent
‘I’ll see you on the other side’
Your final breath gone
I left the room and your doggy body behind
I took with me your essence and placed it in
the dog nest in my heart.
