quiet,too quiet

what's next comp.........

woke this morn i guess about 3 am
cold
6 chapters through
the ol man and the sea again
stoke the wood stove
rifle scope check the smokehouse
molly ain't take a breath since yesterday
i'm still doin chest compressions
and breathing for her

i could never make the coffee as good
gotta check traps
comb her pretty hair
gather stones
figure out
how to not just boil water
but distil
like she done since the sky fell

gonna be a lot of work
for you and me puppy
let's hope spring comes quick
i haven't seen nothin cross the sky
in months
and you ain't barked at shit
on the perimeter in a min

it'd be nice havin to kill somethin
again
jus so we know
we aren't the only things still alive

right?

but if you ok with it

so am i...
