we have found our box
not perfect nor expensive
yet perfectly lit

we have found our box
not perfect nor expensive
yet perfectly lit
our black cat smiles
for her Halloween spirit
to seep through the leaves
here we are again
begging for an opening,
trapped between closed doors
soap box continues
with a broken-down kitty
too tired to care
i want the cute cat
and not the cracked-up pavement
through the broken woods
cats will rule the earth
(i was told at a party)
because they are queens
no disturbance here
queen cat doesn't mind sawing
from her planted throne
is this for me, Mom?
the perfect kitty setting
for my striped haunches
rainy Mother's Day
(cantaloupe aches for planting)
my babies: plants, pets
crabapple blossoms
create a cute kitty cave
on a cool May morn
