Once, on a gray morning,
A fat tabby cat
Rammed its head
Against my calf.
It glanced ahead,
Then back again,
Pawed at the ice
And hemlock branches.
The tree was wilting,
The frost half-melted,
And the snow on the grass
A half-yellowish color.
Yet, as the cat
Gnawed at the soil,
I felt the day
Became a little less spoiled.
