she’s hiding
on chair
------under table
we trimmed her fur
thick
luscious
soft
grey and white
so fine that tufts
-------static to your fingers
--------------and don’t let go
it takes two to hold her
while another hums
the dreaded clippers
she lies compliant
but trembling
what we cut off
half fills the kitchen garbage
she’s hiding
because she’s embarrassed
thinking we reduced her to an ordinary cat
but she looks
much better now
we all need
regular grooming
