Today
the cat invited me to sit in the sun
he’d found a dried leaf on the warmed concrete
and crushed it under his dusty fur
with scooping movements of his strong back
licked his fur with paws poised in the air
listened to footsteps on the next door gravel
a cloudy thought went through his sunlight yellow eyes
laid himself out all tousled fur and cobwebbed whiskers
today he will follow the sun
