DEATH Poem: Zelda, by Deana Lisenby

She spewed love like a geyser,
But she licked the baby’s food
So I pushed her away.
She pawed at her ball, eager
Puppy dog eyes in old age,
But my exhaustion won.
We’ll play tomorrow, I thought,
But her eyes never opened.
And now I’d give anything
To go back to that night.
