Ode to Our Cats
We have fed our kittens on the mother’s milk of love from their tiniest, new-found beings to their bigger days of adventure and life-lustnow they stalk the trees, the rooftops, the foliage, the green lush living grasses and the bright flowers in their search to snatch and play some prey (so cool; so cruel)
they come stealthily to our laps and to our beds and to our backs purring at our pillows as we sleep, slumber,
rest their soft breathing scented with curiosity to turn us over to face and feel their presence their nature their feline fixations to awaken our senses to their hunger, their thirst,
their playfulness their want for the mother’s milk of love they have grown to cats with nine loves and more than we could ever know they do not leave us untouched
