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
