Thea & Dino

I dreamed her name
and when I looked it up
the mention of deep-pooled eyes
just suited her.
An adventurer, she's
always first to explore new territory.
She becomes more graceful every day,
except when in a 2-storey game
of tag with Dino (upstairs, downstairs, round the sofa).
Dino looks younger than his 6months
calls Thea as a lioncub calls his mama
though she's really his sister
Shameless charm already,
lying back in my arms
Jake-like to be tickled
It seems like they've been here such a long time
and yet they only arrived on Sunday.
Stay safe my kittens, stay safe,
You are home.
