Different.
You’re different.
You don’t look like the rest.
You’re still soft.
You’re still warm,
weilding a heartbeat just like me.



Skinny tail,
you’re strange.
You’re a turning of a page.
I have the nerve,
to photograph you and try to keep you safe.

I’m forever looking for you in this spot.

You’re different like me,
but you don’t appear lonely.
Luckily, that makes the two of us.

Different but not discouraged,
you live in me, rent free in my mind.

And I’m enamored,
and I’m always looking,
lost in the reeds,
lost in the trees.

Where are you?
When I look, you’re nowhere to be seen.

It’s been three weeks.
My skinny tailed friend,
don’t leave me high and dry.

    Love this and the inspiration for this piece. Don’t think I’ve seen a squirrel with a skinny tail before. But besides that, he looks pretty healthy.

      Isn’t he precious ??? He’s my favorite squirrel in that park. I find myself looking for him every time I’m there. He’s just so cute and I love that he’s different.
