Portia, A Moon of Uranus

 

 

When she is gone tomorrow, her soul will join

the stars in heaven, and she will always circle Uranus

along with her brothers and sisters who have gone before her,

and when we miss her and we look up on a clear cold night,

we'll remember her glimmer here with us, pulling her leash

back towards home where treats lie waiting for her right

inside the door, no, she never forgot that they were there,

we will never forget her.
