It smarts when kittens die, even when they
Thank you for helping them live out each moment
With total sovereignty and joy
And even though they tell you it was exactly
Their plan, and yours too, the path to gratitude,
That balance in the face of the standing wave,
How life exchanges with death but love remains
Exactly the same. The exact brand of bread
Was required, along with 100 other choices
In the moment for this timeline to dial in, so
We can feel what life is, how miraculous
Unconditional love, how hard to believe
It is really us. We forget these things
In the heat of trying to keep up with
A galactic kitten, the sacrifice it makes
For me its mission, so I can see the moon,
The stars, the ships, in the opening, in the
Lights that would otherwise be too vague
The gorgeous mirror of my love.
