Drawn From These Truths

Dog had bought assets to the others
The others had been tested in the last migration
There were injuries
[as there are in migrations]
Horse learned that love holds risk
Dog had learned this too
Even though Horse could nip and kick
Dog held Horse's love
They shared love
Rabbit searched for the next world
Dog knew what it was to search
Even though Rabbit sought a different world
Dog revered Rabbit's sight
Both their world's were visible
Ox was resolute and head strong
Dog had been raised to become this
Even though Ox was bovine
Dog saw their genus as shared
Their bloodline was one
And Monkey was charged with their care
Dog honoured the others' priority
Even though Monkey was born to the others
Dog too was held by her given beauty
At the world's end her image would soothe Dog
But Dog had also bought liability to the others
stirring migration to ready once more
There would be more injuries
[as there are in migrations]
But they had all evolved
with new strengths
drawn from these truths
So the migration began
