Buddy Knows First

April 3, 2026

He leaps
from the couch
growls at the sky,

then looks back at me
as if
goodbye.

Banshee winds
burst forth
a blazing hell;

all we can do
is bark and yell.

The Earth now an ember
our spirits release;

another failed planet,
another failed “peace”.

(In a flash)

(of rage)
