A Poem For Alderman Curry

alderman curry
collected closet doorknobs
lived reclusively with poco,
his faithful afghan

one clear evening,
he told poco to stay 
and that he loved him

poco's senses caused him 
to whine confusingly

alderman curry went into
the woods, took a rope hidden
in a hollow tree, said his last words,
'NOW I AM FREE TO BE'

at 5:15 the next morning,
alderman curry's hung, 
lifeless, and limp body 
was discovered by a worried poco

the faithful afghan did not 
cry out an emergency yelp 
for help, he just let his best friend
and master be.....his secret loyally safe
