Day 406 Always Alert

Daily Note

Every day, a photograph, a poem.

My day includes many cat experiences– since we have a very strange cat as a pet. Today, I caught the two cats on video.

The stray cat, Juanier, sits by the tree watching a beetle. My cat steps in to investigate and greet the older, one eared, cat.

And then the poem happens:

Always Alert

Cats: a cool greeting
of neighbors looking first
to one another
when—
that sound—
both look left—
another sound—
both look right—
back to each other,
then one saunters off
but both
always alert.
