This poem is about one December day 2012 in Taiji, Japan. 

"The slaughter of 20,000 dolphins, porpoises, and small whales occurs in Japan each year. Starting on September 1st and usually continuing through March of the next year, fishermen herd whole families of small cetaceans into shallow bays and mercilessly stab and drown them to death."  Excerpt from the Sea Shepherd Website :  http://www.seashepherd.org/cove-guardians/

I gracefully raced down to the bulging rocks, stretching across the shore. Eva was waiting for me, her gorgeous brown hair waving in the harsh winds that made our noses numb, and our cheeks turned red as roses. We had been here together as sisters, stranded at this farm. We had been homeschooled, and never really met anybody else, so when our parents died five years ago, nobody had thought to check and see if we were ok. We were set on surviving, and running our small farm by the lake in Iceland. We owned a few cats, a coop of a dozen chickens, and a handful of pigs. They all stay caged up inside, because we're afraid some would walk out the barn and never return. Along with the livestock, we had a small brick shed with a blazing red roof. It used to be where Father worked on making tools and such, but Eva and I have turned it into a secondary little house. There's a loft we stuffed full of crispy, warm hay. When nights on the farm are late, we stay there. Besides, it feels more like home. The house gets cold at times, and nightmares come upon Eva and I. But curled up next to each other in the loft, although uncomfortable, makes the nightmares not strike as hard. This is a collection of short stories, poems, and other writing. It ranges from stories of abandoned girls in the past, to the horrible end of the world in the future, to haiku about a forest, and a poem about waves washing up on the surface. Join me in the 20+ part and 13000+ word collection, and you're in for a real treat, filled with happy poems, and tragedies that are sure to wrench your heart. I will hopefully continuously add to this as a sort of scrapbook for my writing.

I understood why it took me by surprise seeing you again. I froze. I felt like a mouse where my voice was to quiet and not loud enough for the cat to hear. You looked at me in a way that I didn't understand. I couldn't decide if you felt grief or sorrow. Maybe something else that I didn't understand. Were you the cat that finally heard me? Or were you another mouse unheard? ~𝙀, 𝙘𝙖𝙩 & 𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚. (𝑆𝑒𝑒 𝑐ℎ.𝟏𝟐𝟔) .♡︎.
