earth

the cat’s privacy
more important than the meow.
for the sitting throne.

the cat’s furry tummy
exposed to my wrinkled hands.
soft as pudding.

a bright sky lies bare.
bereft of flitting feathers.
but limbs are singing.

bird on gray tile roof.
man has sheltered you for now.
a sword double edged.

black blur upon sky.
a cawing of questions why?
shrug in unity.

soaked in vinegar
even sweet honey loses.
but color remains.
