I Keep Dreaming of a Dying Dog

it's the same dog
even if it is a different breed
in each dream

sometimes within the dream
i'll pet the short back of a dachshund
leave the room for just a moment
and come back to a collie

but it's the same dog
i know it

and we both know he's dying
and we both know there's nothing to do
but let death

my only memories of him
are from last nights dream
but those are enough
to weep when i wake
for the friend
i never had
