For a year she’s been here
Her ears as high as any building in Dubai
From nine pounds to 70 in the blink of an eye
She can hear conversations on the moon

Her shyness harpooned by a ball
Lying innocent on the floor in the living room
We’d adopted the most lovable buffoon
An adorable loon who rolls on her back
To plead for mercy after knocking down walls

We are her pack
The family who forgives her
When fetch lasts six hours long
We know she’s the smartest in the room

Of the billions of words that exist
In the light years of sound that persist
Beyond our sun and song

“Kind” is the one
We’d share with foreign life
To explain this wolf
Her face its symbol
Her eyes so full it spills into each room
It looms in her step when roaming our home
Looking for the one she will heal with an ear

Dedicated to @mochamomma who celebrated a significant birthday over the weekend. Happy Belated 50, Kelly. You who showed me how to show mercy, the smartest in the room. Your spirit lives inside this magnificent wolf. ❤️🐺
