There was a sound, and behold, a rattling and the bones came together, bone to bone. And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was not breath in them.
Ezekiel 37:7-8
We buried our dog in a cardboard box
in the soft turf under the Hemlock tree
in our backyard next to the basketball hoop
When lightning struck the tree
the top came off and our dog stayed dead
our back door neighbor brought his chainsaw
cut it into firewood for the winter
My family never had a fireplace
which I guess is why
I never believed in Santa Clause
It didn’t matter much to me
I still got presents
I didn’t need a jolly elf
when I had a Mom who knew
which video games I liked
But I must admit
I was more than curious
and a little hopeful
about zombie dogs.
