What is this creature who

leaves behind seven crows, feathers,

info that connects to Idle no more.

Obviously all cats, crows, creatives

deserve & obtain respect.

They are all about resistance, resilience,

remembering strength heard

while refusing to be herded.

This nubile Cat Fink creature

constructed from & being:

child & elder, graffiti & reality,

red-orange-pink booming amidst

beige-white-black silence.

More feathers, an egg, a branch.

Contrasts of movement, stillness.

Scissors, hearts, nails, shadows of wolves.

A memorable animal making

& sharing memories.
