Bone-trust
My dog has ribs that ripple in the sun,
a cage for a heart.
My dog has bones, long and slender,
a thing of grace to race and leap.
I trust my dog for his bone-cage heart
that holds nothing but love.
In dog I trust,
to the marrow of his bones.
Ooooh my daughter would love this one - she has two dogs... padenkos... and their ribs ripple also and their caged hearts hold only love. xx
I love this kind of love--pure, unquestioning. I miss my dog, who was a whippet mix. I think your dogs are the loveliest things.
