Another poem from Aidan Coleman, whom I thank again for his permission to post this.
CAT IN EMPTY AVIARY
Today
is a day for weather:sun-blue
with a scattering of popcorn.
Today
I’ll let the phonering
and only answer the kettle,learn
idleness and blissfrom next-door’s lounging
catwho dares a judgment
to come:a prisoner
of nothing but sun.
