Things My Cat Has Taught Me
Jan. 29th, 2008 06:53 pmSome time ago (just over four and a half years ago, actually), I posted a series of thirteen lessons my one of my cats had taught me.
Last month, I acquired a camera capable of doing justice to the cat in question.
Behind the cut, there is a photo of the kitten as well as links to the lessons learned.

A Single Strand of Golden Yellow
Feb. 2nd, 2006 12:18 pm(In Imitation of Kay Ryan's "A Hundred Bolts of Satin")
All you
have to snag
is one
loop
and the life
unravels
all the way back.
It seems
to have been
a sweater.
There seems
to have been
a pattern.
The yarn
that you
end up with
cannot reveal
it: a skein of
maroon wool,
for example,
several yards
of blue,
a single strand
of golden yellow –
perhaps you
were less
bright than
you imagined.

Shoulder Rides
May. 4th, 2004 06:54 pmA whooshing sound,
and the world falls away
from my tired feet.
From here, I can reach the clouds!
... if I can just let go
of Daddy's sweaty forehead.
The air is somehow sweeter
when you're not busy dodging feet.
How often I see others,
riding on their lesser steeds -
Of all the shoulders in the world,
my Daddy's are the best.
(And my Daddy never drops me)
