you are
the smallest thing
tiny,
fragile-
i am a
giant to you..
towering over,
making baby sounds,
holding toys,
watching my step,
as you
threaten me with your imaginary teeth-
yet my heart
opens for you.
you sleep by foot,
and i do not move
i am sentimental
and
leader of our pack
you growl, the faintest growl-
comical-
as
small paws
claw at
my heart,
leaving in doubt who, is really
who's master.
