For the Birds: A Haiku

Would that you unwrap me

Slowly winding off the dressings distressing me

While I drift peacefully, mind and limb reposed now

Resisting my nocturnal nature

Into eve’s restful comfort, then

With morning might pounce

To repay you for eased night

For the Birds: A Haiku

We sit, as a cat
In this window, affected
Uncontrollably

No Gown

Are we okay with being alone
With no other soul to hold the ladder
To stand by us, tasting, in the test-kitchen that is life

Allowing, for once, after all the illusion
Reality
When we release our grasp and find no one but ourselves

Need we ask why
What mythical stealth robbed us here
Who climbed into this tower, cat-like, to gleefully take

What will we make of it
This secondhand plan that has nothing to do with the tales we were told
A finer legacy, perhaps

My Cat’s Eye: A Haiku

There’s something so right
in how my pieces remain
intact, claws and all.

************************

All that I need do
now then, is take my own hand
to feel contentment.

Night Crazies

I’ve seen the future
It’s waking up alone
10:42pm
A smart screen left-untouched
Too long
Stream now gone dark

You forsook that post-dusk walk
Too alone
But for that cat
Third one, now
Avoiding you politely
Crazy like the others

Stand-alone: A Haiku

Define the word “with”

Look it up and write it down

You were never that

From Not To Am: A Haiku

The Laughing Dance

Cat Call

Words for Diamonds
