Sailboat

Kittens bones sink in and
out of
flesh like funny little masts
billowing out vast, white
sails of health and promise.

They curl within themselves in sleep
yawning in mid-unfurl
sleekly rowing against a larger version of
themselves
that purrs, exhausted
encompassing them in all that's good and safe about this world.

Happy Diwali.
