Cats Traipse My Life, Too

Somewhere, he’s
around 69 now, and
he's wishing ol' blue eyes
a singularly Sinatra day...

his voice
raspier now, I would
imagine

his cat’s cat’s cats
still haunting
halls of his mind,
owning his home,
as in leonine
tread,

they still bring thoughts
of yesterday’s
conquests back to him

no matter who lives
there now…

tawny coats bringing
liquid movement
of moments long gone,

black fur wraps
with green eyes winking,
blinking back
memories of mornings
between thighs
he thought he would
never forget,

what’s her name

calicos and coffee
newspapers shuffled
tousled heads ‘neath sheets
feet searching
for a quiet piece of
cool in the sheet’s corners

yes, she and she and she
did that

and other things

his craggy face of then
craggier still but
sexy, yes, still that
look of “come read my
mind”

what would I give
for one day

of Rod reading aloud and
me, asking questions
as they came to
mind,

or not,

just listening

listening

why cats leave
their pawprints throughout
his writings,

but it’s simple…

feline women left
their prints
everywhere…

he must have been a Leo…
in another life

but I don’t know.

I only hope I have
nine lives to
find out.
