Remember the cats

Any time you leave
I leave too
And while you're away
My normal life
Becomes a mix
Of trivial,
Selfish treats
And anxious waiting,
For your return.

The whole time
you're gone
All the while
You're not here
All I hear,
Running endlessly
Through my head
Over and over is,
"Remember to feed the cats".

 

 

Fight like cats

Sometime we fight
Like cats and dogs
Or cats and rats
Or cats and cats

It's not that good
Or even right
But then some cats
Just like to fight

Not quite yet

Dying
But not dead
Not
  dead
Not
  dead
Not
  dead
Not
  dead
Not
  dead
Not
  dead
,
Not quite
Yet.

Falling Water

God love the sound
Of falling water

No other love
Is required

All our existence
Springs from

Rain splashing
Waves crashing

And the music
Sung

As water
Falls

Through us
All

Tree Strokes

These sky-full trees
With perfect strokes
Paint the wide world
This cloud mural
Unrolled across
A canvas sky

Pity those poor
Treeless folk
Forced to paint in
Frantic industry
Concrete and glass
Grey and hard shine
