from germany with five
suitcases
for a weekend
visit
i knew i was in trouble.
she stood at the airport
door
wearing her black fur
and high heels.
a pile of blonde hair
stacked high
on her head.
she could speak
three languages,
but not english.
it was exhausting.
but we learned to
communicate like koko
the gorilla
did with her handlers.
making hand signs
for thirsty, hungry.
sleep, etc.
did we fall in love?
no. but we had fun.
