Today, kitten made a 5?m jump off a bannister he was not supposed to be able to get up to. I think he has a sprain; monitoring for worse. I would like not to be sick, and also sleep for a hundred years. Deal? Deal.

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
