Best Budd

D Linden Thomas 1950 (MA)

Blank verse
Me and my best buddy
For all time.
Crashing all the boundaries
Social and beyond.
My DOG
Spelled backward.
Unimaginable
Unconditional
Often unspoken
And confusing
But, even here,
On FB
The blushing stage
The correction capitol
Of the world.
Undeniable.
My Father.
We run forever
Through the skies.
You're beautiful.
In Your own
Begotten way.
