Lolli Pup

I tried to save a puppy, wasn't in time.

Tigers that roam

and fingers that kiss me.

I kiss them back.

Tell me it will be alright.

Hold in my brains and 

put back my intestines.

How do I show him

The bad man

what I feel

what I know 

what I've done.

He will never know.

I was just 

foraging through the streets

trying to find

a stick or anything

just to chew on.

I am a white wolf child

with a black stripe 

around my neck

and I am dead now.

She tried to save me 

my guardian angel,

but the drunk kicking man

he was too fast

and he hurted me.

She was not in time.

My brains and guts are out

and I am dying 

whimpering

Crying out

then

licking her fingers

when she holds me

Crying.

She tries to hold my parts in

to put them back,

Carries me to the vet

and won't let go of my body.

Even after I am gone.

The sweet kind one

she ran and yelled and knelt 

and took the hits for me.

she chased the bad man away

and tried to save me,

But not in time.

I died in her arms

with my kind blue eyes

and my tongue on her hand.

I will be her guardian now.

Forever hers.

I will give her my sister.

My black companion 

with the white stripe.

I will give her my grandfather.

I will love her

from the flowers 

and the stars 

and the moon that shines down.

Little Lollie Pup,

I am. 

I'm sorry I couldn't 

live for you.

I'm sorry that you had to

go through

the ordeal

that was mine.

I ran and tried to kiss him 

but he thought 

I was going to bite

So he killed me 

instead.

She saw

and thought I was just a white

trash bag

until I called out to her.

I called but she was not in time.

It was not her fault

I know

and I will guard her forever now

from my after world.

Wow, this must have been heart-wrenching for you as an experience. But I salute your bravery and determination and compassion for the most vulnerable ones against big bad men. It was a turmoil in my belly to read this...it sincerely moved me to tears. And it was a very interesting perspective too, from the little lolli pup. I hope he rests in peace and finds happiness in the dog heaven.
