Thirst And Toenails MAG
The shrill cries
echo in the coolness of the morning
Her stiff body slips and falls
as she tries to stand up.
Her toenails clink on the cold
of the linoleum floor.
She struts toward her bowl
for a drink of water
Collar dangling
like the sound of bells
As she laps the water
her thirst is quenched
and slowly she returns
to the comfort of her warm mattress
