If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says?

Mine speak in color.

Every morning,
I gather their sentences—
little colored messages.

A pale blue thought
left beneath a few feathers.

And every so often,
someone has something enormous to say.

There is something wonderful
about living amongst creatures
who have never needed words—
a single human word.

So I gather what they have said
and carry it inside.
