how can i forgive the guard dog?
when i grieve the sea taking the shore
when i grieve the stars dying against dawn
when i grieve the poor fox
who's only crime was hunger
its breath stolen
canine teeth closed around its throathow can i forgive his lethal bite?
as the waves pull back and the tide rages
as the sky swallows up the night
and the world carries on
like there's nothing to mourn
