Cats
Dream Dog Reality
I do not
understand the early morning breeze
how it
slips itself into the old elm trees,
disturbing
the winter branches
with its
cold hands and eyeless glances,
that
makes the dog that lives next door
howl and
howl until the cat (who sleeps beneath
the
wooden ramp outside my door) jumps
and runs
about the lawn
never
knowing if she's in a kitty dream
or alive
in this reality, this dog cruel reality
that
makes all cats afraid of everything
including
their own shadow.
But it
could be worse, oh, my, much worse.
To have
the feathered curse of crows
who never
know what they’re lives are for?
They
spend their nights and days
confused
and wondering away
“Why are we so different from the sparrow?”
