Word Kitten

little poem kitten why do you bound after the falling crimson edged leaves letters trapped like frightened sparrows under the spaces of your paws…. Stalk the scampering winds with their billowing dog-like schemes... fellow with a clever well tempered claw . you untie a thread from the lines that the moon in diligence writes on the covers of my ribs... As the night sews mysteries around the corners of the house. Come inside my little one-- --tiger among the deer like commas-- The sputtering fire awaits to warm us as the leaves press cool elegies on the shades, & you my little kitten may curl up and sleep upon my chest dream like a poem i will allow you to dwell in the splashing chambers of my heart...
