loved
to bark, to gnaw on shoes,
to tear
things up,
unravel
and chew on just about
anything.
a full time beggar
for a crumb
of food.
hats and gloves,
wires
were shredded between his teeth.
i still see the traces
of his mayhem
when
i look around the room.
the legs of chairs
and tables
half eaten,
bones buried in the living
room.
part of me
misses him dearly,
and yet another part sighs
with relief,
and says whew.
