I saw a dog today
that looked like mine
the darling firefly who's with angels now
barking at them chewing their wings
buried under a crown of plantain
his favourite fruit that he snaffled at will
I dug the earth and lay him in
and cried very moment
just like today
when I stared at the doggie
that looked like mine
he weighed as much as me
and stood near my height
standing on his hind legs
when he licked my face
I saw that doggie for barely two minutes
and cried for two hours
