All at once the dog
running into the street
the car hitting the dog the dog flying
then falling the man getting out
of his car and though a child
she saw he was stricken      her wail
the dog’s whimpering her father
kneeling touching the dog—
it wagged its tail twice—
the man speaking quietly to her father
The walk her father carrying
the dog the four houses home
The neighbor in her driveway
saying she would drive them
Him sending the child into the house
crying All the kings
horses all the kings men
