Pets Are Remembered at a Secret Christmas Tree in Central Park

They’re remembered at back doors, backseats

backyards and backgrounds

In the auto-reminders of vet appointments and 

in recurring shipments of preventative pills that show up 

right on time, too late

Pets are remembered in hand embroidered stockings 

from last year’s holiday bin; the one you hang up anyway

In lint rollers and vacuums

At breakfast and dinner

When it snows, or thunders, 

or the pavement looks extra hot

they are remembered

And despite all of my letters to management 

they all leave too soon

But at secret trees 

and in small pieces of cheese 

and the jingling of keys

they (sit,) stay with us forever 

Good dog
