On the cremation of your dog

[gdimonaco]

Your dog, I thought, was in a can,
a cookie tin of sorts.
I wondered if she was really in there,
a dog in miniature with a high pitched bark.
You wept frantically as you held your lifelong friend in trembling hands
and all I could think was, "Be careful! You'll spill your dog all over my car!"

This seems to work okay. Not anything wrong with it.
