And Then There’s Sam

And then there’s Sam.
His buddy, Daisy,
somewhere other than home
where she belongs.
The word “hospital”
not part of his vocabulary.
Recognizing signs
of our tension and concern,
he howls in frustration
as he circles on Daisy’s bed.
Picking up her scent
and trying to understand.
