Left the cat
out in the cold last night
but she survived
Thank God!

Fiona sick again, in my lap
in the waiting room, in our care
for life, as it should be

Reading Li Po
Lily the cat keeping me company
on another sleepless night
The heater hums soundlessly
Lily sits on the sill, staring out into the darkness
Now she follows me everywhere I go
Sometimes I catch her
staring up into my face
as if she is trying to discern
the depths of my soul
