a short ten years

it's hard
to take the dog on his last
ride.
his nose gone
white, his eyes blue.
there's no
more barking out the window,
no more
sitting in my
lap with his paws
on the wheel, no more
drooling
madly when he sees a pizza
truck go by.
he has no more interest
in the squirrels
nearby.
he's done.
it's just a matter of time
until we get there,
uncollared
and unleashed at last,
so quickly
has his life gone by.
