    A poem about our rescue dog, but also about deeper levels of perception and hope. You can also read it below: Tail of a Blind, Three-Legged Dog by A.M. Hayden (A Reverse Poem) What light can we find when the world seems to be burning When the Vet found him in a ditch in Mexico We don't know if he had a name or a home On a starless night stretched into dusky morning Before a black thread could be distinguished from white We don't know who or what shattered his back leg and jaw Every single day, for three months he held on Distressed vets resigned each morning that he may not make it They realized there was no chance To save the limb or exiled eyesight It's a fool's errand and none of it really matters anyway Never believe “There is a chance this could work out.” “You can make a difference in the world.” Many would agree “It's just a dog after all.” “Just put him down.” “You can't save them all.” how many said It's heartbreaking to imagine His joyous, thumping tail, goofy grin, collar's jovial jingle Stroking his shiny charcoal coat Fingertips reading his halfmoon shaped leather scars scattered across his skin in constellations What hope is left to engage with In this often dim and unsettling world (Now, read in reverse, from bottom to top)
