Look it up, kitten . Haiku (2015)

 soft big eyes explore

hard world inexorable

look it up, kitten

          *

touch mynose my tail

(i told my body what to do)

clean work starts @ home

         *


bottom of litter

blues top karma plate potluck

squirm toward free nipple

          *

runts rule bully law

(who are you calling a runt!

bank and forth tales sweep

          *

 cute fang takes nice mice

home to her children waiting

      gastronomical

        *


whisk sweeps his her story

(the furrier the better)

moon looks down and nods

           *

underwheel barrow

sheltered brood discovered (oops

sorry, mother cat

        *

one by one neck haul

children lumber pile safety

confine cat castle

           *

punctured tin delight

aroma sound saliva

twenty feet running

          *

i catch my own food

simple rodents. bugs. or tuna.

swipe of stealthy paw

          *

let  me in i plead

not as dog with scratching paw

waiting doorside hours

        *

independent, yes

allergic to stroking, no

depend on that (logic

     *

milk bowladulthood

enough only one sitting

otherwise---flies drawn

         *

i draw with my tail

accomplishment legend map

"where i been is done"

          *

our pingpong ball chase

(neverending game of life)

thank goat, walls of time

          *

sister-brother nest

just leave one nostril open

epiphany air

          *

mother chews the cord

father prowls barndark quiet

these things, are given.

          *

wrapped in dishtowel love

take out baby burrito

parent practice good

          *

purr mechanism

runs purel (by seeing you

daughters trifecta!

         *

catch and release game

sharpen our human smile bark

sunshine yawn nap stretch

        *

litter conflation

no mess, nor pissy sponge sops

sibling, final friend

          *

sandpaper tongue bath

six down one to go...oh bother

go to where did they

        *

my head on your haunch

milky waterbed sister

straw built camel back

          *

father of the field

(mothered subterranean

night? anarchy rule

          *

no yarnball catnip

please, pull burrs from my fur.

supply pillow, too.

      *

crossing the road storm

stuck in treetop innocence

same difference, yep

          *

symbolic proxy

go where we cannot, freedom

mate with life yourself

          *

curious prowler

atop grandmas china hutch

cat in a bull shop

          *

in stow away add

inadvertent cat cargo

going gone round trip

          *

motions of nine lives

cheating death by pursing life

twitching cat dreamnap

          *

they fought atop fence

caterwauling "right makes might

roles reversed...it might

          *

sleeping kneading leg

owner complains of clawhurt

anyway, whose lap?
