the ache in my neck
is from where the kitten grew
as it slept and stretched over me
in my own deep sleep
the dream of a wealthy family
broken by hate and the lack of water
in a poor country where women speak their minds
to the men who slave in the dirt
and mud of a fallen future
and upon waking
the yawning claws of a cat
stuck in between the strands of my hair
