Dog Star
by Jonathan Pinnock
Like a
Shooting star with a waggy tail
Like a
Cosmic hound with a vapour trail
Laika
Like a
Stray in search of a long-lost bone
Like a
Rolling stone from The Twilight Zone
Laika
We’ll never see another like her
So take a picture with your Leica
Serenade her on a balalaika
But remember
Laika
