![]() An inhuman PresenceA Poem by David O Whalen (O Haolin in Celtic)![]() If Poe was a dog lover, he might have written thusly: (at least I hope)![]() (If Poe had one, he might have written thusly)
The rhythmic thump ‘gainst the floor That resounds Both day and night That gentle rustle, That familiar bustle That accompanies me Through deepest, darkest night That calms my soul And fills the hole That void that Would otherwise exist Presence there That ne’er E’er, ceases to persist Whose touch I feel And who so insists… That I touch in turn And caress in delight… And whose tail thumps Rhythmically, faithfully (and light) And is the measured metronome That calms hearth, heart and home My canine friend, e’er true blue Who helps me through The deepest…darkest…dreary night © 2013 David O Whalen (O Haolin in Celtic)Author's Note
