Is this the place
where you milked
cows? Fed horses?
Is this the place (you told me,
but shouldn’t have),
where your mutt Hammer
killed your chickens,
so you hung him
from a tree
then whimpered
like a dog?
Is this the place
where they
came and took
your chickens, took
your goats, took
your cows,
and then
came and took you?
This is amazing, I loved it
Thank you for reading my poem. I really appreciate your comment!
Love the lines \”then whimpered / like a dog?\”, suggesting how close a human and pet can be, as though they are of the same species.
