MMCM - Puppy Love

Morning drips through blinds and dust.
My room feels heavy.
I breathe and count the flaws.
I can’t find the switch for joy.

I drag my name across the tiles,
a tired badge, a quiet bruise.
Bills on the table; news in my skull,
every promise sold in pairs of shoes.
I keep my head down, keep it neat,
keep my anger on a leash.
If I talk, it cracks the paint.
If I laugh, it sounds like grief.

Then the latch clicks.
Air changes shape.
A stampede of small hearts
makes a new kind of quake.

Puppy love; hit me all at once.
Puppy love; I don’t stand a chance.
Warm paws, wild eyes, soft weight on my chest,
they break the spell; they steal the rest.
Puppy love; drag me into light.
Puppy love; make the wrong feel right.

Ten little engines; thunder in fur,
no warning sirens, no “please” or “excuse.”
They rush my ribs with tail-whip joy,
they riot in circles, they don’t follow rules.
One brings a toy, one brings my sock,
one parks his head on my broken plans.
I try to stay numb, try to stay stone;
they turn my silence into hands.

No more grey.
No more cage.
They storm my heart
and they don’t behave.

Puppy love; hit me all at once.
Puppy love; I don’t stand a chance.
Warm paws, wild eyes, soft weight on my chest,
they break the spell; they steal the rest.
Puppy love; drag me into light.
Puppy love; make the wrong feel right.

I used to worship quiet pain.
I called it truth.
I kept it fed with stale routine,
and I wore it as proof.
Then fur and breath and clumsy grace
found cracks I hid.
They licked the salt off every thought
that told me to quit.

I’m not cured.
I’m here.
That’s enough for now.
Ten small believers
teach my hands how.

Puppy love; hit me all at once.
Puppy love; I don’t stand a chance.
Warm paws, wild eyes, soft weight on my chest,
they break the spell; they steal the rest.
Puppy love; drag me into light.
Puppy love; make the wrong feel right.
Puppy love!

I open the door.
They rush in again.
