but I have my ways
of finding it.
For one, the radiant
smile of my wife, all
pearl and sapphire, ruby
silhouettes left on my cheeks
from her warm caresses.

For another, a hot cup of
peppermint chocolate tea
as the rain lashes its angry
tongue at the even pettier
wind with fidgeting fingers.

And for another, the sleeping
void loaf that is my cat on
void loaf that is my cat on
the sectional as I navigate
another existential crisis
with nerdy friends.
But now, I have discovered
the next Holy Grail, for there
are many: And I just want to
go up to a rottweiler lab mix
go up to a rottweiler lab mix
and hug and squish its precious face.
