Catku
by the window
a snowflake meltdown
amuses the cat
the cat enjoys fresh snowfall
but the squirrel hides
under the a/c
dinner table scraps
trash bags ripped for survival
hungry kittens eat
like cat’s eyes
doors to inner peace
open and shut
keep your pussy
rodent-free
kick him in the ballot!
(for Alison Ross)
progressive claws
send political machines
to the shredder
—————————————
after grieving
sun gets brighter
days get warmer
—————————————
on hallowed ground
a sanctuary grows
wild geraniums
—————————————
wild geraniums
remember the holiness
that greed demolished
—————————————
inside this kaleidoscope
souls of flowers
ever-changing
—————————————
like clouds
departing for sun
grief fades
