Lines Written in Response to My Wounded Dog at the Vet’s
©September 18th, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram
Canine puzzlement
Gazes out from deep, brown eyes
Pain forms a question.
My voice in her ears
Words she understands dimly,
Whose intent she knows.
Reassurance grows
Amidst these entangled threads
Perplexed eyes soften.
Love is absolute
Days wheel around her and me,
With her at my heels.
My dog’s trust humbles
I am sworn to keep her safe
Confusion, begone!
