A Form of Meditation
My cat is trying to express a deep
And lovely thought. Her Buddhist methods for
This mystic message are purring and sleep.
She sometimes dozes in the corridor
With chin (propped on a brick from a building
Site in Dongzhimen) the hue of honey.
She knows her “sweet” voice could use some gilding.
Partially for that she’s called Miss Funny.
Her dreaming eloquence shows in twitching
And flickering of eyes. Occasionally
There’s stretching and rolling, then some itching
With scratching claws. She looks up Asianally.
..She’s loudest about her celadon dish.
….Generally she’s focusing on, “Fish!”
