Before the dog was to be walked

you walked the path of vision

you walked our visions like nothingness

and mentioned your face completely drained

if the dog's breath was all there was

and the silver fox of your voice

stood in the mush of dialect

you walked our visions like nothingness.

 

There was nothing

nothing you could say

nothing you could do

nothing, nothing at all

a little while ago I loved you so much

it was all in my mind

I had to leave it behind

I had to let it go

I had to walk the dog.
