flawed

Hands become motion
as fingers are cogs
within an intricate
warm blooded machine.
Mind is a twine ball
soothed by process
and comforting repetition.
A swath is created
like a combed field
of gartered rows.
Eyes become averted
to yarns flow
and diminishing skein.
Sweeping palms caress
the purled shawl
that falls to the knees.
Hesitation, separation,
sip of milky tea gone cold.
Furrowed brows become
knit with horror
as they critique
a long ago

CATS&DOGS

Here's a pic of my Diamond coyote-dog, laying in her new favorite spot, my pillows! I need to start bathing her more often ! She was pretty wild when I found her has a pup 3 years ago. She wanted to live outside but now she is indoors 90% of the time! Finally, she is "mellowing out" and not yapping at my chicken coop as much.
Also, here's a pic of Sassy (black cat) and Ferghie (persian siamese X). They are not compatible (Sassy is very alpha) but they happened to be looking out the front window at the same time . Lucky shot!
happy day!

THE ROCKS (a poem about the feral cats in the Galveston area)

Who would know

about the rocks

near the beach

where the wild cats roam

just out of reach?

***

A pride of little lions

yellow and black

miniature tigers

that leave no track.

***

Grey tabbies and Siamese,

Persian kittens

such are these

too wild to touch

they are free.

***

By the salt waters edge

cats frolic and roam

emerging from cracks

near briney foam

amongst seaglass and weed

they are home.

THANKFUL

This has been a tough year.

I've been injured, broke, desperate,

sick and tired.

But its all getting better ...

and I want to give thanks

for all good things I have...

and to my BLOG friends

OUT THERE!!
