Cat as Planet
In memory of Cody, RIP
Cat settles on a couch back
opens and closes his eyes
as though savoring a flavor made of sunlight
seasoned with time.
Cat has eaten and is not hungry
has used the box, does not need to go
has slept, does not need to sleep
is curious but does not need to explore.
All those things are necessary
but not the reason.
The reason is equilibrium
around which Cat curls
his intricate paws
and purrs.

A so-beautiful tribute to what I can only imagine must have been a magnificent Cat.
Vale, Cody. Tread softly in the dreamtime, show the way.
