Buddy (Free verse) by ALChemy
Even as I stroke the smooth
fur capped scalp of Buddy,
as his head sinks in servitude
beneath the gentle weight of my hand,
even as his eyes recline in glossy ecstasy
as if to say you may snap my neck
in a twist of your wrist
and I shall die by your will
a grateful sacrifice,
even in the simple petting of a loyal dog
I find my own life fails to be so full
as that of this mongrel beneath my palm.
For my master runs not a finger through my hair.
