Departure
-for Baby, 2-10-86 to 9-14-12
His slide was steep,
over in two days as he went
from flight to fail.
His weak legs went first
so I carried him close to my heart
in a makeshift sling where he mostly dozed
until, with a look of surprise in his wide brown eye,
he lifted his left wing all the way up
and waved a final good bye.
