I want to wake with you each day,
until I rise no more,
with every sunrise shared,
more beautiful than the one before.
I want to wake with you each day,
so you’re the first thing that I see,
and hear the first sweet birdsong
with you laying right next to me.
I want to wake with you each day,
with our bodies intertwined,
so that you will know I’m yours,
and I, that you are mine.

I never ate meat—
But children should.
So contemptuously
You served it up.
And I sat at the table
cold and shivering—
from a lack of warmth—
Staring at its cooked flesh
Wondering how to get out of this mess.
Until, salvation brushed my legs
With his happy, hungry tail...
