There’s this cat—not ours
but we feed the tom
keep the tabby warm
This started outside
feral cat business
colony, over time
tamed to humans
Offspring: now there’s this cat
hanging ‘round, one of several
At the complex
door-to-door
sales cats
clever cats
Hungry cats
Feed them
Fix them
Let them in
Hurrah!
Fewer cats
Rinse & repeat
Friends all around thrill from afar mindfully settle home and abroad roam remotely read along our common world its splendour Leave discernible marks works on which uninterrupted caring hands lay life's details, which otherwise deflect essentially needed communication.
Another version of the poem Us, As One.
