Oh oh oh

But beautiful, the old dog
Lets his head down and the tiled floor and the blanket
Receive him. And the woman who loves him
Since she was a young girl holds his foot in her hand

And releases. Exhaling, the ocean
Just short miles away retreats then returns
Then retreats again. A bird silhouette sprays
Salt drops across the sunset and the good dog,

The good dog stops reaching. What light remains
In the clouds of the day turns red,
Turns purple, turns ancient. She holds his eyes
In the hearts of her hands. They remember,

He remembers, they remember. Who holds the moment
Lets it go and it goes. He passes
Like the light into the air. Another wave falls, another
Dog runs into the water. A stick flies,

A ball, an idea. The best idea loves
The best dog in the world. Good night, good dog.

Good dog,
Good bye.
