Sunlight / AE Reiff


Sunlight

Sunlight pours down in cloudy days between
yellow patches of earth, as green stones steam
in the rain and sun. I am sitting there
with a cat who follows me everywhere,
watching the colors softly in the morning.
The cat cleans itself, its claws are in.
It is content to follow the seasons.
This summer the cats lay in cool places,
heads down, following the seasons.
I suspect the passage of time brings this ease.
The cat mellows, springs down. The day begins.
