May 30: Cat

house without its cat

a pine forest

on a windless day

May 13: Sleep issues

trying to fall asleep

with a weight on my chest

one small cat

April 18: Cat time

morning sun 

cat hairs drifting 

in my coffee

February 23: Cold rain

freezing rain

even the cat mistakes it

for the scurry of mice

December 29: Transition

Boxing up Christmas.

The old cat

sleeps through it all.

November 24: Sharing

Sharing my cereal.
Tiny pearls of milk
on the cat's chin.

October 24: Sick day

Afternoon rain.

Drifting in and out of sleep

alongside the cat.

July 31

July is over.

Cat watches out the window,

striped tail twitching.

October 22: Inside

Rain on the streets.

Does the cat at the window

watch with relief or envy?

August 24: Paper thin

Our cat chases a moth

around the backyard.

The heart is that fragile.

August 22: Prey

Shrew in the cat's mouth

has such a cute little tail.

We let it escape.

Hazy afternoon.

Cat's mournful song of outside

keeps me awake.

Summer evening--
