    the peruvian hammock blows

    in gentle winter wind

    on paint peeling porch.

    day almost like spring.

    sun promises hope.

    spring! the era of new changes

    wakes amidst winter.

    i picked up broken pieces

    from treasured objects again.

    the demolition cat squad

    still kittens in young big

    bodies filled with curiosity

    keeps crashing  things

    two decades of memories

    scattered in shards,

    and the pieces break my shadows

    my previous perspectives

    clearing unmentioned boundaries.

    i honor the past.

    i understand from broken eggs

    new chicks emerge.

    what matters most

    transcends old stories

    and expands and empowers

    the love of living

    as kittens grown big bodies,

    perfectly present now.
