Alfie

I speak to my dog Alfie when I feel upset.

When I have a bad day he feels it to and comes up for a hug.

I sink my fingers in his warm coat of hair and he lies his head on my lap.

I tell him about school when I go down the street and have fun.

I tell him about the weekend when Logan comes to the house.

I tell him not to pee on the carpet but he does it anyway.

My heart is a soaring golden eagle swishing through the sky.

My life is a bird waiting for Alfie to notice.
