Under the shelter of my roof
I curl into blankets
the dog licking the tips
of my uncovered toes

and an empty popcorn bowl by my side

I smile as I reach my favorite part
the noise of pages flipping
chourus's through the room
the cat struts in
waving her bottlebrush tail
glaring at the dog
ah, home
it's different for all of us

    of no path

    water rests on skin
