love, unconstrained
complete unconditional
love of child
love of cat
hard won from trust
a spectrum from black to red
untrammelled unencumbered
by the confusions rules separations
fears of adult human life
where love is, but is masked
or hidden
or expressed
only via covert channels
where it's safe
where pretending it's not there
where sanitising its expression
where safe from being acknowledged
in the open sky
in the open joy
and clambering to be held
high and wild
of a cat
of a child
