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.
