cleo poem #6 - on my lap

the purr of a cat sinks deep into the earth
vibrating the earth’s crust

causes the leaves above the ground to rustle
and sway in deep satisfaction
-------knowing that below the surface
-------where roots meander
-------like a lost child in the forest and
-------soak up the water needed to survive
-------the uncanny motor of the world

is chugging away
