softest coat

of anyone.

and it is mine.

( 150 make one for a human, size 8)

critically endangered in the wild,

farmed for fur,

breed for pets –

(we still love the cool high rocky places of our great mother’s heart)

i am not some starter creature

for toddler or teen!

my history is as long and complex as is my care –

so wear me in your heart – but not on your sleeve,

for i have a long life to live

in my own fur coat.
