Maggie

I wake with you when the weather whips across the window

I shake like maraca with my nose inside your elbow

I quake and I cower as you coddle, coo, and comfort

I am scared, and you're sad that I am scared

I bring you my leash so you take me for a walk

When we go in the car, I let you put me in the box because I know that you know what I need more than me

And I know that you need me more than that

More than that

More than that
