Slowly Fading, not Gone
A hunting dog-
through woods
black and speck white
images
many pieces
of dirt
run rampant through the screen.
The film is-
running
cackling
stammering
It is now over.
I am a film
lapping.
He-s a film
happening.
He-s been a character
in film
playing through futility
and laughing. His-
joy, His smile-
He loved us. His film-
reached it's climax. He-s seen resolutions-
endless. He has sniffed out-
many small animals
in tree
tops.
and now
Like a tower
Or oaken green crown
He will not shiver
from a great force
instead
his reel sputters
and quits...
