Cat with Boy

A Tabby Adapts

The blind cat sat,
paws tail-covered,
and cocked his gray ears
toward the whine of a fly.

Up, down, around,
he followed the fly song,
his dilated eyes
bouncing the light like mirrors.

Deep, high, soft, loud,
he followed the fly song

until

his fangs flashed white,
he snapped,
and there was silence.

      from Paws & Tails, Fall/Winter 1998
