She Falls

[Leah S.]

A german shepherd, wallows through filth.
she walks on top,
with paws cut by the edges of Coca-Cola cans,
just enough drink to make them sticky.
Her paws bleed;
her blood is carbonated.

The same shepherd, indulges in her surrounding leftovers,
indulging in its variegation:
of color and ingredients.
She shovels and pulls and pushes all.
The bags are full of no-name candy corn.
Her vomit is sucrose.

She slips down the side of one trash heap,
sliding on broken compact discs and
scrap metal.
The metal grinds against her already
bleeding feet, immobilizing her, beside the trash heap.
She rusts over like a discarded hammer.

A german shepherd,
with color and tastes and carbon dioxide
coursing through her system,
is curled beside the heap.
She is shaking with color and taste and air:
dying
in the waste of humanity.

She lies there, breathless.
She is covered in Pringles cans,
and disguised by stained prom dresses.
Another dog paces at the top of the heap,
smelling the air of danger.
She turns back too quickly.
She slips and falls beside her deceased sister.

Edit:
A german shepherd, wallows through filth. Lose the unnecessary comma. Also, German Shepherd should be capitalized.
she walks on top, If she is wallowing, she can't be walking on top. You could lose this whole line.
with paws cut by the unraveled edges of Coca-Cola cans, I like 'unraveled edges'.
just enough drink to make them sticky.
Her paws bleed;
her blood is carbonated. How about, "Her paws leak carbonated blood." ?

The same shepherd, wallows through the same filth, I don't get the reason for the repetition of "the same". If you moved "her paws bleed, her blood is carbonated," to just before "her vomit is sucrose." you wouldn't need to use "the same".
indulging in its variegation: Lose the unnecessary colon. Re: my suggestion above, this line would have to read, "She indulges in..."
of color and ingredients. Dogs are not esthetically discriminating. How about "of taste and texture." ?
She shovels and pulls and pushes all. How about 'roots' instead of "shovels" ?
The bags are full of no-name candy corn. What bags? This is the first time you mention them. You risk your reader envisioning a dump filled exclusively with bags of candy corn.
Her vomit is sucrose. How about "She vomits sucrose." ? (Or even 'high-fructose corn syrup.' ? (Just joking.)

She slips(slides?) down the side of one trash heap,
sliding(slipping?) on broken compact discs and scrap metal.
The metal grinds against her already You don't need "already".
bleeding feet, immobilizing her, beside the trash heap. Lose the second comma.
She rusts over like a discarded hammer.

A german shepherd,
with color and tastes and carbon dioxide
coursing through her system,
is curled beside the heap. How about 'curls beside the heap,' ?
She is shaking with color and taste and air: Lose 'She is'
dying
in the waste of humanity.

Example:
'is curled beside the heap,
shaking with color and taste and air:
dying
in the waste of humanity.

She lies there, breathless.
She is covered in Pringles cans, 'breathless, covered in Pringles cans, disguised by stained....
and disguised by stained prom dresses.
Another dog paces at the top of the heap,
smelling the air of danger. 'Dangerous air' ? 'Toxic air' ?
She turns back too quickly.
She slips and falls beside her deceased sister. I think just plain 'dead' would be better.

I really like this poem by the way. Carry on. Leah.
