First dog poem: Deoge

Llasa-poo The one who lasts with silver hairs in black and white, like any star shooting to this greeting, or the spokes of a tire going this distance. A statue in the night when groomed, the clippers buzzing in a yellow room, layers of bear when you are a honey. Not big, not small, curling up like lashes on the brown couch, you are me, a shadow, a helper, the best kisses on my nose matching yours and smelling food.

The adventure of a good long think
