CAT POEM
What a particular miracle is a cat,
Wrapped in parti colour,
Softer than milkweed down and warm,
Resonant with purring hallelujahs.
What a moving miracle is a cat,
Claw-pawed or kneading softly,
Kitten shadow wrestling or ice-eyed hunter,
Walking the fence between the wood and the tended corn.
What a sleeping miracle is a cat,
Belly up, paws half staff,
Eyes serenely closed
Breathing careless breaths - but step near and in a flickering,
Alert in readiness to fight, to flee.
What a loving miracle is a cat,
Leaning towards affection,
As to a source of sustenance,
Dearer than milk,
As if lacking it were death
And drawing out in response a human love forgetting the gulf
of species
Head to head the minds respond each to its
nature and together.
(c) Sonia Fricker Brock 1987

| KITTEN IN THE HOUSE
Feathers are for chasing,
Hallways are for racing.
Food is for strewing,
Pillows are for chewing.
Carpets are for clawing,
Sunbeams are for pawing.
Tables are for leaping,
Bathtubs are for sleeping.
Papers are for shoving,
People are for loving.
