As i Smoke the Day's last Cigarette
Animal Sounds all Around me
the Restless cat Scratches at
the Watchful dog
the Seagull squawks, Seeking to
Snack on the Frog
who Sings his Heart and Throat raw
Out in the Pond,
a Song for the Raccoon
in the Woods Beyond
and the Cat starts to cry,
the Dog gives a sigh;
the Frog sings along,
the Raccoon and Seagull die
Mother Sleeps while Child Writes, the Story
of so Many Nights-
the Animal Sounds All Around;
Crying, Sighing, Singing Dying,
Scritching and Scratching of Claw and Pen
As i Smoke the Day's last Cigarette

As i Smoke the Day's last Cigarette
Animal Sounds all Around me
the Restless cat Scratches at
the Watchful dog
the Seagull squawks, Seeking to
Snack on the Frog
who Sings his Heart and Throat raw
Out in the Pond,
a Song for the Raccoon
in the Woods Beyond
and the Cat starts to cry,
the Dog gives a sigh;
the Frog sings along,
the Raccoon and Seagull die
Mother Sleeps while Child Writes, the Story
of so Many Nights-
the Animal Sounds All Around;
Crying, Sighing, Singing Dying,
Scritching and Scratching of Claw and Pen
As i Smoke the Day's last Cigarette
