Let me lick your wounds
To convey my gratitude
Your generous act, 
An inimitable gift
To rescue me and my pups...

Like frostbitten limbs lay bare to the ice cold breeze of a winter’s day

- Cold and without feeling are your words.

As the burnt orange autumn leaves that lay half decayed upon the ground

- So too your words fall flat.

With neither substance nor imagery; these words that my naked eye follow across 
the page.


.....Now lick your wounds and learn from this....

Running from yourself
Fast furiously and completely
Running farther than you ever did before
Resolving to change yourself into a better person
Deciding to show love to your fellow man
All seven days of the week not only your Sabbath
Running back quickly to lick your wounds
When people did not give you anything but doubt
Word of advice.  You are with the wrong people....

If my tears can fill a bucket...
Then my smile shall fill the sky...
If my hurt never came...
Then my love would never hide...
Without a fall or a trip, my heart
would have no aim...
If my scars healed to fast, then
there's nothing left to gain...
Walk with shoes that feel the ground...
And true love will call and always be found...
Lick your wounds and heal away...
And your heart will tick to a better day......

You are alone in the bar, I am adrift.
You are isolated by sadness
(fair game).

I need to tell you I am not him. 
I could be a better him,
but only for a while.

I want to put myself
between you and him,
as a dog will.

Vulnerability has made you desirable.
This predation is a mutual dance.
We both know you will do anything
if I listen to your story,

lick your wounds with my words
wag my tail,
just for you....
