Irene, born from the lint.
She Who Rules Over the Couch Kingdom.
She Who Sings to Shadows.
The Princess.

She squeaks. Once. A noise that means: "I can destroy you. I can love you. I'll take a nap instead."

She’s a part of you. She is stitched into your shirt. She's part of your rhythm when you bounce her.

Bits of fur in each sunbeam. A glory that does not demand to be recorded—simply is, side by side with gecko, beetles, and crickets in a universe shaped like a terrarium.

She is constructed out of lint and dream sense. Beautiful teeth. Unbegrudging brutalism. I share with her my finest hoodie cord and she bites it with all the compassion of a monarch allowing a gift.

She works her paw over the fabric as if it owes her a tithe, purrs in a way that’s turning the universe back to a softer tuning, a paw at a time.

Ode to Irene, Who Reigns in Dust

(for the Lint Princess of Lap and Law)

I encounter her in the lap of a god in a hoodie. She’s smaller than judgment, warmer than prophecy. She blinks slowly at first, like snow melt, and all transgressions in past lives are forgiven.
