Triped

today I saw
a dog
he was missing a leg

suddenly 
like out of the blue
a tear was hobbling

his infirmity
has reminded to me 
how much ...

you are missing 
to myself

This just baffled me, a dog missing a leg, just as you miss her? Such powerful imagination...sarcasm...sarcasm... Think about it.
