A walk To walk

With a frozen right hand,
I have scrolled all the directions
and exploited
any opportunity
that flashed up,
a genuine possibility,
and melted into
a white tremble
against a screen canvas.

Without a frozen heart,
I have endured all the temptations
and anointed
any opportunity
that took root,
a temporary possibility,
and melted onto
black pleather fidget
against a sea of recruits.

Freezing my butt off
I have assured all benefactors
and appointed
any opportunity
that brings me out,
a genuine salvation,
and melted under
a pink spotty belly
against a muddy stained paw.

I walk and walk and walk a dog
like a Nurse or Caregiver
to myself
via a pat and a pet and a whistle.

Natural, Authentic, True to my Heart,
I knew so little
about my Brand,
(and it's - apparently - useful.)

A 'Lifesaver' so grateful for this little wagging life.
