Piggy Puppy
Soft and warm like little pigs,
Belly warm and milky,

Breath like popcorn,
Buttered and spiced.
Little murmurs, squeaks and purrs,
Scratches, snuggles baby cuddles.
Tiny needles line soft lips,
Claws like diamonds

Taking away loneliness,
Cuddled up for coziness.
She pr...

Chicken carcass fills her skin,
So fragile and so weak.
Blind blue opaque eye,
Her temperament so meek.
She sleeps stretched out,
Small brittle arthritic bone.
She twitches as she sleeps,
Time left now is life on loan.
She sleeps so soundly,
this warm summer...
