~Ode to Kamalanie~


Ode to Kamalanie
by Sarah Mahina Calvello

the sky was shaking
when they took you away
the wind was screaming
and swirling
chasing the leaves

wanting to play
wanting to go up the stairs
stubbornly
to see us
no matter what we said

it was you time
Kamalanie
I want you to know your on my mind
I love you all the time
you can bark at me
anytime

I'll never forget
your amber eyes
your breath on my skin
burnt coffee fur
tangled and white
with memories

I keep thinking
I hear your soft footsteps on the stairs
your nails tickling the wood
in that familiar echo
that sounds like home
