Cats

Amazing! More sun, yes; all day long and not a cloudstrip in the sky. Predicted for the next few days. There's nothing like Galway on a sunny day. The light, is hard to explain. Imagine the brightest blue, a big ball of sun spinning dazzling lace patterns of sunlight, and loads of 'happy shiny people'.

Needless to say, I'm going to run off this machine and soak it up.

Poem for today:

Cats

I wonder what they think;
the two of them sitting
face to face;
Gypsy & Zuzu

the two cats,
brother and sister,
incestuous parents,
lion & lioness.

Do they talk to one
another as we do?
You know, the gossip
the small talk.

Do they whisper
from their perches about
how stingy I am for not
overfeeding them?

Sneer at guests they
don’t like, figure out
who’ll go home
with who?

Do they intuitively know
what each of us is like
without inquisitive
conversations?

Or are they merely
the creatures they seem;
sleeping, eating,
ever preening?
