A symptom of diabetes is uncontrollable thirst.

Divorce Preceeding*

Diabetic, dying,
the blind dog lies

head arched back and around
the base of an overfull bowl

war steps over her - backforth, backforth,
the mouths of minutes like

bedbugs bagging a body
thunderclaps everywhere

her snout and feet twitch
our dreams are all of running

the terrific, wonderful
terrific, awful, thirst,

water never enough
is there

*sic

This is very moving Julie. Damn, where you been girl?? Tremendous writing. This strikes a chord with me too, as you know about the animal thing. I like this style. A lot!!

I cannot say that I understand this one but I do appreciate the effect of alliteration and I can sense powerful emotion/s. Love and peace,

Regis
