straining to be free –

the cat sits and stares.

around my head

a halo of fur.

Talking to the cat

cat in the window,

a crow calls three times…

the cat chases sunshine

around the room.

I move my feet

and the cat attacks!

A rainbow

in the window.

The cat cries.

The cat returns

The cat returns
through the open window,
full of news.

Stretching in sunlight

silver and black

Potted lilies, white

await the kiss of light –
