'packmates'
by jessie swink
Some people might think machine
We are effortless in our movements, after all
Synchronizing with one another, easy as breathing
Our movements are reflections of the other
But no machine feels as we do
Nothing powered by oil and grease could match
Nor ever begin to compare to us
We are emotion itself, feeling and reaching
Unstoppable as a hurricane
Perhaps we are more like a force of nature
After all, something higher calls us together
My mouth cries the words ‘family’ and ‘friendship’
But alone they aren’t enough
Something stronger ties us together,
Something more than human words can capture
Things like ‘pack’, ‘spirit’, ‘soul’, they come close
But above all, we are simply more
