    I got an email from a friend

    On the day the vet came
    and took my dog,
    he had broken loose and run
    into a car,

    I received an email
    from the daughter
    of an old college friend I knew,
    up North.

    The message had come
    with happy emoticons
    in the subject line
    with colors of blue and yellow

    I opened it and thought
    I was being invited to a wedding,
    (we had been out of touch)
    or maybe an announcement of
    a birth -
    he could be married and
    announcing a child


    My friend has died.

    (And I cannot seem to keep a dog alive).

    Heart wrenching poem. Curious with the happy emoticons, but they may have been absentmindedly applied. Enjoyed.

    who am I but a stitch in time
    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami
