This is my lot forever bound to yoursheart guiltless of shame, pity and hubris
knows not envy for those but glad grace
fate smiles for inside soft palaces of kings.
This is my life forever bound to yours
time rolls curtains slow dawn to darkness
nights echo shine headlights two-by-two
cobblestones cold or wet through seasons.
And this my love forever bound to yours
soothes forgetfulness over thirst or hunger
all hard misjudgments will never stain
all comforts drawn from a gentle touch.
(for all canine best friends and our beloved Casey, Biko and Moby)
