sleeping better
with only one dog
but damn do i miss
all those cuddles

~~~

let’s
get back
into the habit
we’ve established
all these days

k?

~~~

is it nerves
is it too much food
(is it too little?)
(or is there something
actually wrong
wth me?)

the questions
of a saga
of a never-ending
stomach ache

they say the cello is the instrument
most like the human voice
but
whenever i listen to violins
play long, extended phrases
i always catch myself
holding my breath
as if i could sing the line
too

~~~

how is our puppy
so damn cute
and precious
and calm
when she’s sleepy
and so adorably hassle-y
and damn destructive
when she’s hyper-awake?

~~~

short poems
small amounts
because today
my belly says
‘no’
