Warm brown eyes
begging for the
cheese in
the fridge
or a cuddle
or a trip to the beach
it doesn’t matter which one
as long as it happens.
A dog wants
to share your
warm bed
in the evening
and lick your tears
away
and press their furry body into
yours
or to run free at a park
loyal, beautiful, devoted and kind
these words
melt
together to form
a
living
breathing
creature.
A dog.
