Cold spring storm
A mix of rain and sleet
Patters on the metal roof
The fresh smell of the soaked ground
A small figure
Black and shining
Its bright yellow eyes glimmer in the light
A wet walk in the evening
Lost in the woods
Far from home
For hanging, drenched and heavy
Embraced by the warmth of a pair of arms
A deep purring vibration rising through a small body as the shivers subside
