Paperwork

We met with the facility and filled out all the paperwork
to place him in two weeks.

We told them all about him.
How to take care of him.
Because we won't be, anymore.

We won't take care of him.
He won't live with us.
We are sending him away.
To live somewhere else.
With strangers.
In a strange room,
with a strange roommate.

He will wonder where we are.
He will ask when we are coming to get him.
He will wait for us to take him home.

I do not want to send him away.
I do not want to have to do this.
