mabel

the spark behind your eyes
lights every step i take
as you stretch out on the couch
and leap to take on the world
you know i'll always follow
out the door and into the park
down trails i never thought i'd find
a blur of lightning bolting
a spattering of copper, grey and white
when you go far my chest flutters
but with each scent you track
you find your way back to me
i thank the storms that i found you
my electric pup by my side
