breaths are slow
an old dog
sinks deep
into your lap
a #psychopomp
in the form of gentle love
guides you
both of you
through letting go#vss365 #tanka
each evening my #cats settle gently one on my lap and one by my arm their close warmth relaxes my tired limbs and calms my work-weary mind #vss365 #tanka
