Sleeping cat
open your eyes
see the gray rugged morning
Where were you kitten?
six years ago lost
when mother left you alone
There's no food
you check anyway
licking the empty bowl
my finger struck your nails
blood rose to surface
you were afraid but smiled
without a clock
you mewed for morning
until I rolled from bed
on the table sprawled
we watch the streets
with different memories
Scar down your nose
a white furry schism
between sad orange eyes
rumble of cars on street
an old obstacle ignored
your upturned sleeping belly
in your thick coat
I see the sad alleyways
rainy nights of the past
