—WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SONGS ABOUT RAINBOWS  

 

The Leftovers

  

I threw away

Your food today

Every last bit of sustenance

Then your leash

And collar

And no I don’t

Want an urn

And no she wasn’t 

Just a pet

She was my

Best friend 

Turned ghost 

Staring at me

From a vacant

Spot on the floor
