January 15 - January 19 Week 54/72
a sifted sprinkling
of powdered sugar snow
making frozen patches visible
along with wintry Lilliputian worlds
populated with half inch fungi and feathery moss
snowflakes linger in the shadows while I chase
moving wedges of light across the yard seeking
to recharge my soul with face turned up to the sun
muscles relaxing into the warmth imbued with
the sage wisdom of a thin old cat who
comes to visit nestling herself into
the corner of the front porch
basking on flagstones
now radiating heat
Things are starting to morph right before my eyes now. I honestly thought the picture on the right was the cold nose of some exotic gorilla-like creature. As I looked closer, I thought I saw eyes. Then I saw eyes of the cat seeking warmth on the stone at the top of the middle picture. I began to think this was pushing things when the picture to the left instantaneously morphed into a stingray. Maybe it is because this is inauguration day, and Bethe is turning into another animal, too! Hooray for January 20!!!
