Clyde died in my arms
I was leaving the bathing room while
Vicky led him in.  He tugged a few times
So I lifted him up rather than watch them struggle 
And he let out a howl so I let him down gently
But his legs gave and I held him as his heart
Pounded in his chest until it stopped -

I knew he was dead but I wrapped him in blankets
Carrying him out the back to my car
To his veterinarians, in through the back
So no one had to see his body

His mom was on her way home from vacation
To pick him up. She said he loved coming here
He just hates his baths
