two orphaned kittens
rescued, taken to shelter
tiny babies thrive --
adorable calicoes
welcome home my fur babies

For Line Gauthier's Bite Size
Poem 2 contest
Ambling and ankling on red brick and cobblestone
gone are your cottons and calicoes.
Factory skeletons repurposed,
phantom workers operate
Ghost looms in condo kitchens.
The sun sets like a watermelon dashed
off the Moody Street Bridge.
