destabilizing


in vain i sought your assistance for years
to empty from my spirit, the energy
mistakenly placed in human habitat
a nerve meant for the cat family
her relatives
and the eerie woods

that vigor
evolving from eating flesh
and ascertaining right by might
blocking heart and soul
instead opening the muscle
in gentle breeze, flower
and wild weeds

a power contending not
with fellow creatures
and waging not
war with the neighbor
thus destabilizing
the law of the jungle in human hearts
