Cara Losier Chanoine

You
are not a creature
of languid-limbed grace.
Tail fanned and furred,
trunk corpulent and muscled,
nose tapered to a wand—
you are a hybrid of vagaries,
hinting at any number of species
to which you do not belong.

I have felt as you appear.
I have lived between
the parameters and pigeonholes,
and perhaps things would be easier
for both of us
if we were more easily classified.

Despite that,
I love you for your ambiguities.
We are all more than the sum
of our varied parts
