There's a feeling that settles
into the comfortable silence
accompanied by a shared meal
that was too spicy to
finish
sort of like the feeling you get
with a sturdy cat buzzing
in your lap. The warm steam
gathering on the tip of your nose
from a shared hot drink
as you hear the oration of
an equally warm book
taunting us to
laugh
deep in our bellies
