Player Dog Rest In Peace.
This epitaph
This graffito
This haunting inscription
Lingers on
In white on rust
On girders laid
Across the road
(Player Dog
Rest In Peace)
Player Dog
Are you resting now?
Player Dog
Could you know how?
And how,
How did you come
To find this peace
To earn this rest
To leave this world
Of white
On rust
On girders laid
Across the road?
Do the passers by
Down below care?
Could they know just what
Your existence held
Or what let go
Or what gave in
Or what gave out
That all we know
Is white
On rust
On girders laid
Across the road
Time erases,
Slowly now
These simple words
Which truly are
All I know
Of you
Player Dog Rest In Peace
This eulogy
This graffito
This haunting inscription
Lingers on
And on and on
In white on rust
On girders laid
Across the gray
Within my mind
(c) 1995 Norman Dziedzic Jr.
