Read Poem: CAT MOTHER, by Lili White

I swim in the sea, fly in the sky, crawl over the Earth.
I seek other animals, invite them into my lair;
we dance together in fire: modeled Shadows of before.
The tide hisses in the snow, Bubbles on our hips swing out and die, Their rainbows stick
Cooking new air we breathe.
Phases, ever-changing Moons, breed sustenance.
Awake or in sleep, a song ricochets inside heads,
Sings, booting starlight.
We are the animals of the day. We bring the fear, the love, the path, thru the gate where we all can
travel,
Sharing or denying the others: allowing for mystery or demise of possibilities.
Retracting claws, eschewing blood,
I prefer to eat the flowers of suns and drink waters of gold rippling thru the Never-Ending.
