JANUARY 11
fangs of delight
claws of affection
we live currently
with two of these jerks
expectant and doe eyed
at mealtime or otherwise
give em a scritch
listen to em bitch
the slow blink communique
says more than my words
could ever, loving disdain
either one anytime tho
can lay on my lap
and incessantly paw
ears aflap and eyes closed
I collect their dropped whiskers
and keep em in a little tin
that an inexpensive watch
once came in
so when they come home
with a mysterious limp
or an errant bloody hole
not theirs but our hackles
go up in a protective frenzy
cuz who could live without
the ones who don’t know
they’re even alive
