Intended to be read out loud specifically for YOUR dog:

A life walking alone with the night sky

constellations named after people to remember them by

Placeholders imagined after the sun

Tombstone Cassiopeia, Crypt Orion

I never knew them. They mean nothing to me;

a chart in a book, just something to see.

Now that you’re here to walk near and far

I’ll remember our moments much more than the stars
