I’m only

Writing this poem

Out of a

Deep sense of

Obligation to keep up

My recent record.

After some

Lovely-weather days,

We’re back to

Blowing snow

Beating against the windows;

Winter please just go!

This last shadorma’s

Appropriately the same

Number as my age. 😉

It’s early;

we kick the cats out

of our room,

then wait for

the barrage from four strong paws

until we relent.

More and more,

when I look in the

mirror, I’m

seeing my

deceased mother looking back,

and I don’t like it.

The sound of

A cat gagging, can

Only mean

We’re in for

A surprise in the morning—

Something underfoot.
