Freedom From The Wild




She’s a pussy cat
and he loves her but
he cannot save her.

They’re in the same room
at the same table
in different worlds.

She tries to save him,
the five-fingered man,
but her world is wild.

There is no science
and no religion
and no salvation.

But there is desire
in him and in her
to save each other.

The wild feels nothing
and offers nothing
about salvation.

The beasts don’t desire
salvation, they don’t
howl and hunt for it.

She’s a pussy cat
and he loves her but
he cannot save her.

She tries to save him,
the five-fingered man,
but her world is wild.

It’s something they share.
Their desire. The need
to save each other.

It unites their worlds,
divides them from beasts,
frees them from the wild.
