Poetry Out West

Poetry & Prose by Jodine Derena Butler

Posted on July 13, 2010 by Jodine

Today,
my Pipi
completely demolished
her ball

it split
right down the mid-dle

& her tail
wagged

she set about
mesmerised;
the final task
yet to be savoured

her fine front teeth
nipping
& pulling
the strands of
fluff
to a string

paws
& awkward dexterity
placed

if only
she had
a thumb
to peel
& fingers
to pry
& lick

citrus juice
