All Over the Place

Flash Flood’s

2d wave shoved

our little house out

from under, but 

not Delsy & me,

LOCKED in shaking-

soaked embrace. & both 

power-gripping Mr Sausage-y, 

Basset-German 

Shepherd! (His “Breed”--

no kidding.) Softest brown eyes

trusting us more

softly yet as he’s 

ripped away.

Sheriff later: “Sorry, 

but not remotest chance!”

Hope the Angels cherish

him as did we, but watch it

Feathered Ones! Such eyes

can mischievously glisten 

at some intended Banditry 

or other. You’ve been warned! 

Well then, Mr Sausage-y,

God-speed!--Lofty

Divinity needing a laugh 

during these loveless times,

Old…Brown…Eyes?

Soft. Just so

very soft & thus so lovely.

Bye.
