Mine is floating, one says. Mine is sinking, the other. I don't know what mine is doing, I say. Making paper boats float in the puddle is hard work we say together, as we go home to eat.

Paper Boats
Your paws on the cold floor, barks when I'm near the cutting board, whines when it's dinner time, jumps when it's play time. you, my dear Milo, are fully mine.

Fully Mine
Oh my, having curly hair is so fun! Really? Try putting it in a bun. But it's so pretty It's also hefty. Do you like it? I do, but it's work. Surely not! Surely is. But I love it.

Curls
Polka dots and red roses, Stripes and wine, Gold and silk, A patchwork of soft promises Stitched into a Sunday dress. We wear it out to dinner, To each our own, We laugh over jokes And cry over our own. Stealing fries off each other's plates, Fixing hair before the mirror, Every secret safe between us, Every fear a little clearer. It was us from the beginning, It's us till the end, Not just my person, But my home, my friend.
