A Porch Harboring King and Queens

warmly protected by the Sun Goddess
I sleep in the sun on my couch 
on my porch in the middle of God’s country

my dog and cat are snoozing at my feet
pretending they are not friends, butt to butt 
we are content, feeling loved 

watched over by deities who 
argue over who will take the next shift
so well loved we are content 

the queen of the porch growls
startling the king and I
