I miss your little paws
Your coal black nose
The way you used to twitch
Whenever you would doze

I miss your floppy ears
Your dorky overbite
The cute way you would growl
While in a play-fight

I miss the positions
In which you would fall asleep
I would snap a silly pic
For memories to keep

I miss those bright eyes
Your boundless energy
When we would go on walks
You would run circles around me.

I miss your soft fur
Your unique smell
How your warm tongue felt
I remember too well

I miss your bark
You were a noisy guy
Every sound set you off
We never knew why

I miss my stoner dog
You would try to eat ***
I would give you my stems
We would get high a lot

I miss your eyebrows
Your quick brown tail
If i needed a friend
You were there without fail

I miss sleeping with you
Right by my side
Curled under blankets
Beneath covers you would hide

I miss the bounce in your step
You had a favorite toy
We would play around the clock
You were a good boy

What I miss most of all
What brings me this heartache
I miss the memories
We never got to make

A new mood was found
Traveling on through with you
Into the effigies of a place
Specifically made for us

The church bell rang on
Commemorating us
From meeting to blessing
Of the highest order

We share these eyes
A bond to paralyze
An imaginary border
Between my room
And your quarter
Soon to be banished
By those unseen

Killing the exhilaration
Of which was once the sun
Into exodus, outro vaticus
Monoliths seethe beneath
Our snake oil salesmen
In conjunction to a megalith
Known for its charlatan ways
Which gave its status to me
Through wisdom and woe
I felt the brisk wind confront me
Decades later, you found my grasp
Now I’m inside of you
Just buying time
So let’s hide under tainted carpets
For their warmth
Sillhouettes of marauders are above
But we’ll just laugh as they pass
For they know not what they’ll do
When the curtain call is due
