a stillness in the air prevails today
back porch sitting in the sun,
umbrella up to prevent contact...
strange yellow cat beside my feet
rolling over in the sustained heat,
exposed and vulnerable, this
little one trusts more than he should,
a cacophony of sounds emerges
around me - a new conductor arrives,
the fall air is full of the morning
the morning is full of sound...
little creatures walk along their
curved dimensions not knowing
up and down or right from wrong,
yet they persist with their toils
like they were always to do as I
watch not meant to do this at all.
