When I was five
my mum was in the hospital
because of emotions and stress
but not death of course.
She gave me a gift
it was a toy cow
I love him so much
he’s my love and joy.
He has big brown circular circles
and a milky back round.
he smells like an antique store
and tastes like candyfloss.
His fluffy fur trembles in my hands
though his name
is milkshake.
