Our Chinese friend found feral kittens
she rescued them and had them in a cage
They were as wild as the waves
In her small apartment they could not stay
So she asked if we could..we said yeah
Huge cage in living room,three bundles of raw energy
none of whom would consent to touch
aware and wary of such as we
who fed and nurtured them
with illusion of eventual taming and
a home where they could be free to play
Open the cage one day-flash fast past
out they lightning run away!Days passed
before a sound behind our sofa revealed one
who (post scratches and cuts),rescued by us
stored back away in her cage.Two more in two days
(we had to send them away)-to a farm
in the Hill Country where they play to this day
feral and free,with their own territory
When life is a cage,always best to find a way
to play(outside the cage)
