Some teeth down there
some hair and grey
gums
Some grass and dirt
down there some gristle
and whimpers
All stupid grinning death running around the yard making a little child cry from each
busted grass blade
I had a dog
I had three dogs
I sit and stay
They did not disappear into
the trees one day
Their brains were not broken coral on the street
They were meat
Some grass and dirt
down there some teeth and
ruined carpets
I had a dog
I had three dogs
I fucked fleas
All stupid grinning death running around the yard making a little child cry from each
busted grass blade
Some eyelashes
down there some eating grass
and mange some
baby’s breath
One day their brains were not broken
coral on the street
They did not disappear into the trees
Some sit and stay
down there some meat
and sunlight
Their brains were not
broken coral on the street they
did not disappear into
the trees
They did not fuck fleas
All stupid grinning death running around the yard making a little child cry from each
busted grass blade
Some bones and baby’s breath down there
some bark and seizures
Distant watery eyes
One day I had a dog
I had three dogs
