Today,
my Pipi
completely demolished
her ball
it split
right down the mid-dle
& her tail
wagged
she set about
mesmerised;
the final task
yet to be savoured
her fine front teeth
nipping
& pulling
the strands of
fluff
to a string
/
paws
& awkward dexterity
placed
\
if only
she had
a thumb
to peel
& fingers
to pry
& lick
citrus juice
