The Kitten
The garage transforms to nursery
A newborn tabby snuggles
my daughter's stored clothes
I gather six kittens who died
Clad in doll dress
the kitten becomes
a solo playmate that
slips down slide
rides on swing
The girl giggles with bliss
Her redwood hair
waltzes in the breeze
The landlord reminds one pet
Our young mother cat fixed
the kitten in his new home
my child plays in the yard
alone
