Metamorphosis: Trembling Legs


Tiny pointed tails trembling in the air

As on shaky legs they stumble forward

Eyes closed and spikes in their wet hair

Meowing loudly in one accord


Falling on and over each other

Searching and snuffling across the ground

Calling and crying for their mother

Is there any sweeter sound?


Innocent and sweet they stand

Guileless and trusting of the world

Tiny wet noses bump my hand

Investigating every fingertip and whorl


Away again on shaky legs

Calling for their mothers touch

To and fro on little pegs

Their weakness never impedes them much
