A cat who is a mother while she mentors
has eighteen lives
her own and the lives of her young.

Only in Italy…
patience-pockets young;
lullabies sung in snow know
protection’s slow-glow

Closing the Distance
Even thugs need hugs;
Kings bring
cling and wing
where e’er they sing.
Lions need be held;
by fold-behold
the pride
of mane and hide.
Young and old
bring shelter;
food and drink
a golden link.
