To My Kittens


Mewing kittens
stay close by
to Mama Cat's
soft lullaby,
to mouse-y toys,
my old white sock,
the gentle ticking
of the clock.

There is a wider
world out there
beyond the rug
and rocking chair ---
a world of fields
and creeks
and trees,
and one day
you'll explore
all these.

For now,
this is
the place to be ---
a playful heap
delighting me.
