Hi guyss

Heyyy, accepting all friend requests, heres a little poem 


The Kitten By Mary Oliver



More amazed than anything 

I took the perfectly black 

stillborn kitten 

with the one large eye 

in the center of its small forehead 

from the house cat's bed 

and buried it in a field 

behind the house. 


I suppose I could have given it 

to a museum, 

I could have called the local 

newspaper. 


But instead I took it out into the field 

and opened the earth 

and put it back 

saying, it was real, 

saying, life is infinitely inventive, 

saying, what other amazements 

lie in the dark seed of the earth, yes, 


I think I did right to go out alone 

and give it back peacefully, and cover the place 

with the reckless blossoms of weeds.
