To my sons.
A lifetime of devotion
Layang because her breath quickens and her body stretches
to the limits of the bed
Because her limbs dangle and her toes twitch.
Because as I get closer I can hear the soft sighs expressed
from her body.
And as my paws begin to press on her flesh
she omits a coo
because when I am finally laying on top of her chest I can hear
the sturdy pump of her breast.
