You wriggle and snuggle in
My dachshund shaped warmth.

I’ve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most weren’t meant to hurt. That doesn’t mean they didn’t leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.

I loved your haiku. Dogs have a special warmth don't they. Nicely done. I have subscribed to you.
Loved that last line. 🤩
