writing backwards
around cat tails
curious satisfaction
lying like poetry
the Kosmos
moving through us
frame of reference
cat tail
cat paw
warning or
dullery
Acedia
STRIKE!
only plays
sleep
dream
wake & wander
coil & stings
stings slings
outrageous slings
springs & coils
Raindrops
window unit
ceiling fan hum
whine
flow
breaths
purrs
waves
lapping
Rocks
concrete
banks of
bayous
or—
wash of
traffic sound
on ramps
off ramps
cat face
teacup
cream
we are not driving
not moving
ebb & flow & ebb
mattresses
matrimony
happily ever after
a cat lying on paper
cat
lounging on
paper mattress
mattress of paper
The cat sprawls
like words on a
mattress of paper
Who
cares
nothing for
litter pebbles
lounges on stone
or—
on sand
Ebb &
writing
backwards
between
two boxes of
litter &
a lamp
or—
beneath
the lamp
litter granules
beneath
paper
reminding
of pebbles
in shoes
or—
princesses &
peas &
piles upon
piles

| What this poem looked like while it was being composed; I have 4 cats milling around my house... Yes, one did lie on my paper at one point. |
