Poetry: 100 Memories: 008. Kittens by Bernise Carolino



100 MEMORIES: 008. KITTENS
by Bernise Carolino

they were abandoned, sure,
but we should never
have fancied ourselves
mothers.


they scrabbled together like
shifting tectonic plates. patchwork
coats, little landscapes. see this bit of
desert dry, of cloudy fog,
impending night.

we kept them all, but could not
keep them right.
like tearing with epileptic
fingers a love letter you've
just begun to write.
