I don't tell anyone Heave for the day Except my best friend And my best friend is patient My best friend has two ears She spends the day catching up on the latest bird My best friend has four legs news at the open window My best friend is covered in fur and her eyes glow She gossips with her green apple slice mouse in the green like sea stone corner of our bedroom, sometimes about me And makes time for a charcuterie of dry food and In the morning she sleeps by my head whatever delicacy from my dinner lay in crumbs And I whisper my sleepy secrets scattered on the floor She listens, She nods. Late at night I stay awake She meows, I watch the clock tick The darkness like a blanket, covering the sky I lay in bed My best friend beckons me to sleep Rotting away She tells me it's much too late And she stays by my side She pokes fun at me for lying in bed all day but not Vigilant and quiet sleeping at night I tell her my sorrowful secrets I look to her She yawns, Bright sea stone eyes meet mine 65th Edition 143 �Secrets Between Friends of dull dead moss The only problem is that I ask her: I’d miss you too much."

"Some days I wish 1 was a pebble, A pebble in a stream Tumbling along with the current. I'd bump against other rocks, Loose some of my sharp edges But I’d be happy." "If I were a pebble, I wouldn’t think. If I were a pebble I would be in a perpetual state of rest Save for the current, that takes me wherever it pleases. I believe life would be simpler. I believe I wouldn't cry so much. 144 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
