Wishing
by Jamie Joy Gatto
On our first Anniversary
lying in bed
together as one
we admitted
you were missing.

The third in a perfect 
triad,
an equilateral love triangle:
our family 
our home
finding you created our tribe.

We wanted a man
to wake up with us
someone who was
kind
smart
furry
friendly
and in love
with us both 
equally.

Where have you been?
We don't care
We are only happy
you are finally here
where you belong
with us
three 
as 
one.

Come home, please.
Find your tribe...
Will you ever know 
how much we love you?
