Observation - November 3rd, 2018, Saturday

Observation

It is the 6^th hour of the third day of the eleventh month

There is traffic on the street in the cool November dark

It will be brighter at this hour tomorrow, saving daylight

My kitty does not read a clock, she has one inside her

Tick-tocking with the rapid beat of her kitten’s heart

She is curled up on the couch and I listen to her breathing

Observation - September 3rd, 2018, Monday

Observation

I listen to a car roll by outside my open window

The sound of traffic is low, I have not noticed any busses

There is a beeping like an alarm going off at the nursing home across the street

Or of a van backing up, but it has been going off for hours

It is Labor Day today and the city is still sleeping

Summer is coming to an end

It promises to be warm today, not hot, the breeze is cool and dry

Kitty is running from window to window, chortling in her brisk meow

There is something happening outside

A born squirrel, or a chip monk in the tree

They vanish, and she grows quiet

Observation - December 1st, 2016, Thursday

Observation

The house smells like onions, and garlic

Herbs, I listen to the sound of a knife chopping

The keen edge against the wooden board

My lovely lady is at the stove, cooking

Listen, a spoon is stirring in the pot

Kitty is sleeping between waves of blankets

It is the 1^st of December and raining outside
