i could not take the kitten and not the boy
so i left them both to tend the earth
that is fisted and given sand for her gift
it’s called fracking - i’m told and i left
to sit under a tree life lends
and in turn i gave my dreams as i slept
it's all a variation of vibration - the kitten
the boy, the earth, her gifts
an inner engineering given breath as we
breath out. if i was an engineer perhaps
i could have taken the kitten and forgotten the boy
