Saying Goodbye To Tipper – A Poem/Maybe A Journal Entry

Saying Goodbye To Tipper

Leaving a marriage
thirty years strong
until one day it wasn’t

so then

you’re stooping down
embracing your dog
in good-bye

and you hold each other
until each of you
pukes.

Now
that’s sobbing

that’s what parting
feels like

looking back.
