the lithe body
curled up beside me.
a meowing yawn.
yellow corners
a white blanket
never felt so cold.
clutching the sun.
cry baby
time between seconds
the birth of a universe.
and the baby cries.
dog tired
the arc is shallow
and disappears too quickly.
lazy tired sun.
sun scissors
the blue swatch
cut by yellow ribbons.
sunny days.
not hip
the crusty white ice
summons the breaking of hips.
and that’s just not hip.
