I had hopes you would stay alive
I saw myself last night waking up
and driving to pick you up, after I
picked up my daughter: she is young
you know. a child on her way to
being more than i ever dreamed
and so there i was in bed alone
except for the cat and the dog but
they don't count in this story
in this story only you, my daughter
and me count and my car. my little
red car, at the ready. she would
hold you in your box and ask so
many questions. and i would drive
drive to that rescue where they
would keep you and feed you
let you sleep with your kind. it
would be a drive to remember.
this morning i awoke to this dream
to share
went to work and waited for the call
around 9 i felt a silence come pass
now i learn you passed away. that is
what happens when birds fall out
of their nests
