Observation
It is the 6th
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
