you must love dogs

she liked dogs.
dogs liked her.
people not so much.
and when they died,
the dogs,
she'd carry their ashes
and dust in small wooden
boxes with their
names on the lids.
but people were a
problem.
there was no unconditional
with them
which made for a long
and difficult life.
it was so hard to put
them on a leash
and keep them from
running away.
