the Angel and the Dog
gracefully she walked.
the soles of her feet imprinting on the sand
as if to let the heavens know
exactly where to find her.
her sweet scent rode on the salty wind.
her Infernal curves sway with the waves.
delicate, fragile, fierce.
her eyes - greener than the palms on the
trees, expect for a sliver of blue
like peering into tiny skies of woe.
and beneath her little hand, a dog.
a dirty, mangy dog. a dog that looked
forgotten.
his paws were bloody, his ribs showing.
and he wreaked an oder that smacked you
between your watering eyes.
his fur was rough and weathered, as if Van Gogh
had painted him with all his extra colours mixed
together. his eyes were still eyes.
and there she was. leaning down with her little
soft hands, scratching between ever disease.
full of love her pet that dog.
full of love her leaned against her.
that is what makes her so beautiful.
