Tail of a Blind, Three-Legged Dogby A.M. Hayden (A Reverse Poem)
What light can we find when the world seems to be burning
When the Vet found him in a ditch in Mexico
We don’t know if he had a name or a home
On a starless night stretched into dusky morning
Before a black thread could be distinguished from white
We don’t know who or what shattered his back leg and jaw
Every single day, for three months he held on
Distressed vets resigned each morning that he may not make it
They realized there was no chance
To save the limb or exiled eyesight
It’s a fool’s errand and none of it really matters anyway
Never believe
“There is a chance this could work out.”
“You can make a difference in the world.”
Many would agree
“It’s just a dog after all.”
“Just put him down.”
“You can’t save them all.”
how many said
It’s heartbreaking to imagine
His joyous, thumping tail, goofy grin, collar’s jovial jingle
Stroking his shiny charcoal coat
Fingertips reading his halfmoon shaped leather scars
scattered across his skin in constellations
What hope is left to engage with
In this often dim and unsettling world
(Now, read in reverse, from bottom to top)
