written a decade ago today

Melina begins our day
by walking back & forth
across my body

since I'm not ready to leave bed
she parks near my head
running her motor loudly

Melina ends our day
by cuddling beside me
as I watch Donald Meek

after she's washd her face
her tongue rasps my hand
& we're both ready for sleep

I missed this poem somehow. I love it. Glad you posted. Oh how we miss our furry companions.
