Two weeks after my arrival | |
Fox died just after sunset | |
I was stretched out on the bed when he approached | |
And tried painfully to jump up he wagged his tail nervously | |
Since the beginning he hadn't touched his bowl once | |
He had lost a lot of weight | |
I helped him to settle on my lap | |
For a few seconds he looked at me | |
With a curious mixture of exhaustion and apology | |
Then, calmed, he closed his eyes | |
Two minutes later he gave out his last breath | |
I buried him beside the residence | |
At the western extremity of the land | |
Surrounded by the protective fence | |
Next to his predecessors | |
During the night a rapid transport | |
From the Central | |
City dropped off an identical dog | |
They knew the codes and how to work the barrier | |
I didn't have to get up to greet them | |
A small white and ginger mongrel | |
Came toward me wagging its tail | |
I gestured to him | |
He jumped on the bed and stretched out beside me | |
Love is simple to define | |
But it seldom happens in the series of beings | |
Through these dogs we pay homage to love | |
And to its possibility | |
What is a dog but a machine for loving | |
You introduce him to a human being giving him the mission to love | |
And however ugly, perverse, deformed or stupid this human being might be | |
The dog loves him, the dog loves him |
