The Black Cat: poetry





The Black Cat

This afternoon
the black cat warmed himself
in a sunny part of the garden
where sunflowers had been planted
and harvested.

He rolled on his back
in a patch of catnip
planted for him between the sunflowers
and when he finished …
waited for the birds
who would come for the seed I put out.

He does it only when the sun shines;
he's never caught anything
and if I didn't feed him he'd starve
and he's not ashamed...
he thinks that's how it should be
and I agree.
