blue shirt........................Three wild kittens wolfed down the
food
soft fur......................... that I
set out for them every evening.
warm milk........................When I
tried to touch them they
always fled --
the sound of water..........disappearing into the woods
rain................................like the ghosts of departed
housecats
cold water.....................driven to roam the world without human
companionship.
whiskers....................
brown grass on the hills...
a flowered dress..............
a glass of beer.................
sleep...............................
background noise............
low flying planes.............
intermittent pain...............
the smell of green grass....
warm sun.........................
a red front door................
cold cereal........................
working............................
making things....................
a white shirt.......................
making love......................
the children laughing..........
blue jeans.........................
potato soup......................
never know why...............
nausea..............................
footprints..........................
unwashed windows...........
a dark corner....................
......
undecipherable on his otherwise soft brown face................
walking.............................
riding................................
the horizon........................
