Marilyn's Dog

 Marilyn's dog is coming to see her today

To comfort, to remind her

She's screaming

It hurts: life

When you didn't choose it yourself

And when you did

Marilyn's dog is coming to see her today

To take away the pain for a time

The memory of her husband's death

The lack of it for her son's face

Marilyn's dog is coming to see her today

Her companion 

On the final walk
