the solid world
cats know the change in seasons
because the world suddenly becomes solid
when summer bows to fall.
there are windows now
where there used to be screens;
solid surfaces instead of silly breezes.
the sky outside is somber and gray
yet i glow in my silky coat
and sleep a little more than before
and hover my chin over the steam
from my human's morning coffee.
at night i curl up a little more tightly
at his feet or on my pillowy window seat.
it is easy to love any season
when you live in the land of love.
yawn!
time for a nap...
