A pool of invisible fire
glowing embers of
soft sleepy fur
curly and fuzzy and wrinkled and small,
oh so small.
A tail that doesn't quite touch
a wet button black nose
the gentle rise and fall
of the fluff on his back.
Little teeth, like pearls lining an
itsy pink tongue
poking out from dark lips,
lips that in another would
speak of evil,
but in this puppy face,
they only bring out his eyes.
