look it up kitten------haiku

soft big eyes explore
hard world inexorable
look it up, kitten
          *
touch mynose my tail
(i told my body what to do)
clean work starts @ home
         *

bottom of litter
blues top karma plate potluck
squirm toward free nipple
          *
runts rule bully law
(who are you calling a runt!
bank and forth tales sweep
          *
 cute fang takes nice mice
home to her children waiting
      gastronomical
        *

whisk sweeps his her story
(the furrier the better)
moon looks down and nods
           *
underwheel barrow
sheltered brood discovered (oops
sorry, mother cat
        *
one by one neck haul
children lumber pile safety
confine cat castle
           *
punctured tin delight
aroma sound saliva
twenty feet running
          *
i catch my own food
simple rodents. bugs. or tuna.
swipe of stealthy paw
          *
let  me in i plead
not as dog with scratching paw
waiting doorside hours
        *
independent, yes
allergic to stroking, no
depend on that (logic
     *
milk bowladulthood
enough only one sitting
otherwise---flies drawn
         *
i draw with my tail
accomplishment legend map
"where i been is done"
          *
our pingpong ball chase
(neverending game of life)
thank goat, walls of time
          *
sister-brother nest
just leave one nostril open
epiphany air
          *
mother chews the cord
father prowls barndark quiet
these things, are given.
          *
wrapped in dishtowel love
take out baby burrito
parent practice good
          *
purr mechanism
runs purel (by seeing you
daughters trifecta!
         *
catch and release game
sharpen our human smile bark
sunshine yawn nap stretch
        *
litter conflation
no mess, nor pissy sponge sops
sibling, final friend
          *
sandpaper tongue bath
six down one to go...oh bother
go to where did they
        *
my head on your haunch
milky waterbed sister
straw built camel back
          *
father of the field
(mothered subterranean
night? anarchy rule
          *
no yarnball catnip
please, pull burrs from my fur.
supply pillow, too.
      *
crossing the road storm
stuck in treetop innocence
same difference, yep
          *
symbolic proxy
go where we cannot, freedom
mate with life yourself
          *
curious prowler
atop grandmas china hutch
cat in a bull shop
          *
in stow away add
inadvertent cat cargo
going gone round trip
          *
motions of nine lives
cheating death by pursing life
twitching cat dreamnap
          *
they fought atop fence
caterwauling "right makes might
roles reversed...it might
          *
sleeping kneading leg
owner complains of clawhurt
anyway, whose lap?
