Death Came This Day
I
Death came this day
I felt it hovering
Amongst the leaves
Dried from winter's wind
Saw it in Megabyte’s
Unwanted meal and
In her collapsed legs
Heard it in her
Sigh of discontent
And her yelp as
I lifted her
She wagged her tail
And ambled along
Familiar byways
Death passed us by this day
2
Death came this day
Not Megabyte, but Bill
Too soon after
They married again
This second time
More honest than the first
A phoenix born
In ruins of their love
In her gentle grace
Death came this day
I felt its breath
In Kathi’s quiver
Embraced with Bill’s flame
Death came this day
