Feathery Valentine

My wild cat
Likes to claw my chest
And curl and purr
 
Together we watch
A white feather drift down
To the newly-seeded ground
 
And notice the air is full
Of tiny feathery things
Sailing in and out of the sun
 
She will only let me pet her head
And only with my left hand
She doesn’t want her wildness cured
 
She forces me to sit still
And give up everything for her
To watch the feathers fall
