A lot can happen. Just last week

tragedy just flew
out of nowhere
and now it’s
tickling my
face with its
cute little jaws

dancing claws

be hungry the
adorable little
devil and that’s –

tiny moments of first
contact, if what feels,

creature, what is it, a bird, a reptile, it is such
a little cutie unlike any other, yes, that’s what
it is isn’t it, i wonder if it already has a name,
