separation from cats
more than curiosity
drama from the stage
as your lips recite the words
i'd have thought that by my age
it would be something that i've heard
before this curiosity
you bind me with your load
tapping fingers on the wheel
keeping one eye on the road
keeping your heart free to feel
this curiosity
i strain against the straps
you giggle as i squirm
i see you mouthing something
as you dive into the turn
as you dive into the ditch
i tingle as you leave
the hair stands on my neck
leaving something to believe
more than curiosity
