Sleeping In

He lies between us,

Stealing space, sharing my breath—

Boat-motor running

From behind the drape,

Morning ornithology—

A feline “pursuit”.

Night moves

Cats “on heat” outside
Two sterilized cats–inside
Humans can hiss too.

Cat vs. Cowbird

Brown-headed black bird
Comes right up to the window—
Charlie whomps the glass.

Torn Curtain

Rip, not flaw, made by
Ornithology student
with unclipped, sharp claw.
