Your Cat Perfect Smile

A rainy day poem

Here are the adumbrations

Of my loosely cajoled day

A morning euphony

Of pots and plates and shrill bird cries

Wakes me flailing

Arms bent to the shape

Of cut-out Balinese dancers

I no longer indulge

In the luxury of anxieties

Dreams a fading montage

Of wet paint scored by the uncertain wheels

Of fast fading calligraphies

Just regale in the blessing

Of your cat perfect smile

Tied in bemusement’s bow

From the blurred return

Of rain smeared windows and dandelions

(The strange hemispheroid beauty of excavated pieces)

Nodding

In their new assent upraised
