Feline Love
At this one moment
you hover between the mouse
and my spotted hand
waiting for my touch.
You shave your whiskers using
the nearby edges to
squeeze out your feelings
and then move closer, touching
me with the thin tips
at your boundary.
I put up with you like this.
We are both old now.

In honor of Nikos Kazantzakis Cat who was Carl Sigmund Cat's cat. Sig brought Niki home one day and Niki never left again until that day he could not go on. Nikos was a long hair dithery brother to shorter hair laid back Sigmund. Othrewise they looked like they could really be brothers. He died, riddled with cancer in the early nineties. Nikos Kazantzakis looked a little like this old fellow. We always said that Nikos belonged to Sigmund.
