Home
I come from a shiny, smooth ice rink
made with love by dad every winter
hours spent flooding on cold nights
I practice getting my shots high
and perfecting my backwards
crossovers with my brother
My neighbourhood is soft
and colourful blue, green, yellow
houses everywhere
The people are as sweet as candy
Home is always warm
Ruby, the Havanese fits perfectly
on the blue pillows
in the patch of sun.
