I have a little Friend

I have a little friend

who I sometimes spoil- 

capricious, captivating, 

loving and loyal- 

watching with wordless understanding 

when we part- 

her warm brown eyes

can melt the winter in my heart- 

perhaps you think its a dog 

on which I dote- 

to me, she is a little person 

wearing her own fur coat- 

The thoughts of Nanushka,

Nan Witcomb.
