The supreme feeling
Of capturing a living thing
Holding it in your hand
Admiring its beauty
Channeling its life force and spirit
Into your palm
Both of you
A heartbeat away
From death

I would like to translate this poem
Ted, this is adorable, in a painful way (sort of) . I remember a time of doing just that and then someone came up behind me and I automatically closed my palm into a grip and killed it. I've never forgiven myself. t x
