taken
when breath catches—
rosy sunrise in all directions
or fox kit’s delicate tongue
sipping the birdbath
I fall out of time,
reeled into eternity
snared, claimed,
and willingly taken
my bleak view softens
and hope seeps in
a welcome sojourner
I’ll make her tea
wishing she’ll keep
me company awhile
Delicious, Amrita!
