Magnetosphere or Pole Cat
by Sylvia Cavanaugh
My feline traverses the cosmic whisk
whose paleo secrets are captured
in deep subterranean stone
garnet bones of the earth
by scientists with their instruments
magnetic song resonates like notes
plucked from parallel musical strings
to orient my cat
a billowing skyward harmony
pinched from discordant poles
she flies like a carnival streamer
caught in a solar wind
down alleyways and streets
beyond unknown buildings
a charged particle
she blows across meadows
in the golden glow of dusk
voice of the magnetic field
is lost to me
my lovely lonely hours
adrift in a colossal world
