Cheekoo R.I.P. Poem by Pankaj Prasoon

In the memory of Cheekoo, my dog

There you are lying-in your usual meditative posture
breathless
stiffened limbs
woodened body
you are gone …gone for ever
to an unknown destination
never to return anymore
….silently……
leaving us to lament and reminisce your frolics
for the rest of life
…your naughty face
…and sunken eyes
full of pranks
imprinted in our memory for ever...
