about

This is a song about my dog dying.

lyrics

Simple stone, sleep.
Settle on me.
Rustle, fall leaves,
and settle on me.

He's shaking when he breathes,
Painful eyes that plead.
He howls his desperate need to me.
He's chattering his teeth.
He gasps and paws my feet.
He's fighting something he can't see.

He tries but fails to stand to leave

and stumbles on his own feet,
settles in a heap.
I stutter "why can't he please
just settle into sleep?"
