On the way to school, we
never spoke about it,
the way he died, brothers
have to know the difference,
explicit or tacit,
with only two of us
and a runaway dog,
yes, the dog ran away
twice, then after a year,
one night, he came back home,
still, dad took down the fence
covering at the top,
he said to put Cody,
our dog, on the long chain,
over the fence he jumped,
lynched by his need to run.
