I brush you off
Fur on sticky paper
Mulch on the driveway
Prints on my car yet to find its home in the garage
I see you
Your friends
Under the trees I am yet to name
In my new yard
Moving the stillness from my office view
I hear you
Brazen tails
Against dry, winter Texan grass
Scurried escapes
Sounds my dog retrieves
For me
While my ears learn
At their own pace
Then
I catch you
Stolen purrs on the deck
In the moment
Before human awakeness
Peaceful
A pause
Unowned
Untamed
But free to claim
This space
Yours
Before
We left Ohio
To find ours
Your home
While we are still
Making it ours
Thank you
For letting us
Move in
