I see you through the glass plane sleeping in solitude with your golden head placed on your paws. You curl your body a little with one hind leg stretched out over our auburn deck. Such sweetness you show, so calm and unaware of my quiet approach. I kneel beside your golden nose which twitches, your brown eyes slowly open and I offer my hand to your curious sniff. You recognize my scent and twist your body on its side stretching your limbs out and opening your belly to my touch.
I press my hand across your soft and golden fur, tenderly as I pass over those tumors you've carried so long and you stretch with ecstacy pushing all the way to your paws. I lie my body down on the cold hard deck and look into your big brown eyes, I see you're smiling deep inside and I am afraid you will die. I let my tears form and see you rise standing your golden figure over me and against blue skies. You hold your head beside the sun which sends pure white streaks across my sight where my tears have clung to my lashes. You hold it with such care as to suggest you are incredibly wise. Together we live this February day and, forever, hold this piece of time.
