Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Think of a Being,
\nHuman or
\nAll-But-Human,
\nlike Your
\nFurry Couch Pal,
\nWhiskers Tickling
\nYour Elbow.<\/p>\n

Think How Much
\nYou Love Them,
\nExcept to Say
\nLove
\nIs Not Enough
\nto Contain the
\nCherishes and Adores and
\nIdolizes and
\nAll But Smothering
\nEmbraces
\nYou Want to Stuff
\nInto That
\nLove.<\/p>\n

I Have Questions:<\/p>\n

Does the Mud
\nYour Furry One
\nTracked Into
\nYour Kitchen
\nDim the Light
\nof Their
\nBeating Heart?<\/p>\n

Does the Habit –
\nMaybe More than One –
\nThat Stirs
\nthe Beehive of
\nYour Annoyances
\nMean
\nYour Life Mate or
\nYour Little One
\nLoses
\nYour Longing
\nfor Their Habitual
\nTouch?<\/p>\n

How Could You
\nImagine
\nYour Maker
\nLongs for You
\nany Less,<\/p>\n

With All Your
\nMuddy Tracks and
\nAnnoying Habits?<\/p>\n
