Under Their Whim


How swiftly we became  
           subservient  
to masters mere weeks old,  
    with their tiny, dagger teeth. We,  
are wrapped around petite paws,  
    willing to be flicked and flipped  
         at their kittenish whim.  
This, they do not know yet.
      But soon they will.

As waiting by each other's side  
     in the encroaching night,  
  every shape and line  
in the shadows of our front yard  
        utters a mew.  
Even the blades of grass  
          are young, wild, and made anew.
