means bringing something with me

warbler, brown, yellow back

in his winter range, would have fit in my hand

if I sat with my palm open

for how many hours or days

so of course I brought a cat 

who kept nearly drowning - I would fish him out

from the ditch next to a field we favorited 

with a heart.  He wanted to pounce

but every move was wet, and no place 

was solid enough for jumping, particularly

my arms, which disappeared

the moment my token expired.
