From a sled dog…… (update with correct title of the poem and the author).
BLUE MOON by Leeann Baker
I NO LONGER FEEL THE COLD METAL
THAT SURROUNDS MY THIN NECK,
IT HAS BECOME A MEMORY,
OF THAT ONE HAND THAT CARESSED.
I NO LONGER FEEL THE COLD AND INSINUATING GROUND,
IT'S NOW A WARMTH THAT ENVELOPES,
AND A COMFORT I'VE FOUND.
IT'S SO STILL HERE,
INSIDE MY HOLLOWED OUT PIPE,
I HEARD SOME VOICES.
FAR AWAY IN THE NIGHT.
I'VE STOPPED HOPING
THIS ISOLATION WOULD GO,
NOW THE COLD BLUE MOON IN THE SKY
IS MY FRIEND THROUGH THE NIGHT, OH SO SLOW.
I HEARD A RUMOR TODAY
FROM THE OTHERS,
SO FAR AWAY,
THEY WERE COMING TO SAVE ME,
AND TAKE ME AWAY
BUT I DON'T THINK I'M GOING
IT'S JUST A LITTLE TOO LATE
MY BLUE MOON IS CALLING
AND THIS IS MY LAST FRIGID NIGHT.
