Guard Cats


reflection in the glass door indicates

darkness is on the other side...  and,

even though all the doors and windows

are locked to prevent intruders, we

are aware of the spirits of the night

that will seep through the cracks in

the walls to penetrate the inner sanctum

of our security...  baseball bats against

the closet door and knives under the

pillow let us know we have protection

should be awake in time...  a night

owl sits on the rail of the deck to ward

off any evil spirts who try to use the

wooden steps to gain entrance...  our

cats who were trained by the best mice

we could find (at the time) offer a

slightly different layer of protection.
