Reunited With A Lost Pet
I let one of my symbionts out
Asking in our native language
Mine with growls and snarls
His with his clicks
To watch over you,
As I stepped outside,
Leaning my back against the wooden walls
Of my old hangout
Wrapping my right arm around my torso,
Tighting my hand into a fist
Getting use of my left arm again.
I see the patch of skin in my hand
I finally have my boy back
My dearest symbiont
Who was taken from me so many years ago,
The memory of that tragic event still fresh in my mind
I wonder
Does Kay remember me
Or does he think my species
Has truly been annihilated from existence
Since I'm no longer around,
To represent them anymore,
A smile spread across my face
Imagining his reaction
If we do cross paths one day
I felt the patch beginning to open.
His spiny legs crawling up my arm
To my neck
Nuzzling affectionately,
Gently stroking him.
As any master would do to their pet
Telling him how much I missed him.
