Kojo
piercing eyes looking back at me
long hanging viscous fangs that bite in my frequency
nestled in the corner the Ovation guitar
she was a timid creature when you get to know her
explosive to others who have no conscience intact
her breed to pit bul mixed with Dalmatian
once she bits you she locks in will not let go
that's is what happened years ago when a bum made his home on our porch
in the morning there was chard human remains along the tapestry
tried to tame her but to no avail she was the daughter of hell
fed her from the big bag from Costco
put a little can to mix her favorite treat with she was always nice to us so why the fuss
after the incident we made an attempt to put her down but we kept things quiet
as a coincidence another passing bum made there home but I awaoke them before the great alarm...
she used to bark at the moon
grew close to me in her last days
perplexed but happy that we met
so sorry now that she is gone
there is a reason for everything
