5 minutes. 2 scotches. 1 subject. roadkill. go.

I saw your eyes
flash
first
- before your body rose-
they looked/blinked/watered/teared...

did you see your life flash by you as you watched for my reaction reflected through the window?

did you remember your birth/ sucking your mother's milk/ your first pet/ your first fuck
or were you fixed...had you never experienced the fulfillment the conclusion of the first sniff from anothers ass...

were you lonely?

I saw your eyes
brown big and dewy
as you rose. rose high above the city street. 4 lanes wide.
running. why were you running there. with no ties
with no leash no arm to keep you
safe by ones side

I saw your eyes and i knew immediately
you would not be lapping up water in a warm house tonight
you would never go running in a field
again
except for a field of dreams
literally
you would never curl up to sleep
at someones feet

I saw your eyes
flash
first

my heart broke like your bones upon contact
into a million shattered pieces
i cried
out
for you
before you hit the ground
i cried out
for your eyes
for your cold wet drippy nose
for the licks you would never again give

i saw your eyes

flash
