RELATIOSHIP Poem: Hector, by Siobhan Bracken

Unstoppable earthquakes,
One after another,
Their vibrations digging through
My mantle, to the core.

Unceasing thunder,
Rumbling and powerful.

What cataclysmic event,
What shocking collision of atoms,
Could have led to this –
Sweet creature,
Purring on my lap?

If only you could understand
The seismic impact your arrival had on my Earth,
And the joy I now feel within it.
