it loved
it still did
that love that it accorded
it accorded to the owner
purely did
and what did the thing see?
what did it see in the owner?
the accorded owner
and the thing rested
peacefully and sometimes restlessly
for it happened it missed
the so called accorded owner
that was warm but cold
but the owner's coldness
was the thing's warmness
and it chilled figuring out
figuring if the owner was worthy of the thing's love
