VII - Kitten Purred.

hush, now,
'god' is a word
used for guitar fingers burred
and the painter's vision blurred.
our quiet love of the absurd
sleeps in windowsills, self-assured
now. did. you. want. to. learn?

'god' is just a word
for a question twice deferred
or a poem kept inside, never heard.
hush, now,
hear the flight of the bird--

it sounds like your kitten purred.
