Cleo Poem #2

meows ring out loudly from the kitchen
an alarm of burning need
she wants to get out

early morning ritual
stepping on my stomach
bladder full
to find a place to lie down

pin prick sharp claws
scratch carpet on the stairs
as tufts of tan fur get
left behind

the lovely tiny face
purring body
beauty
of form and
movement

learning forgiveness
