Spirit animal

Rosemary is my companion, not my spirit animal.

I often carry
My stuffed sloth
In the pocket
Of my walker.
Her name
Is Rosemary.
She keeps me company.
The last time
In the hospital
A woman asked
If she
Was my spirit animal.
No
I said
She is my company,
My spirit animal
Is a black panther.
The woman nodded
As if this was
Perfectly
Understandable.
