Focus

Part of the reason to try acupuncture was to get more of a handle on the blurry vision thing.  It is more than noting when I would feel safe to drive, and when not.  Some of the pieces are more obvious than others.  Heat and bright light bring it on.  Of course, like everything else, good sleep and hydration help.  And of course, less stress.  This morning, watching the birds along with the cat, I am focused and clear.  I am also grateful I never got the pot planted in front.  It makes the perfect dust bath.

On mornings like this,

Slightly cool,

I open

Every open-able door,

Listen to what speaks

At 10:03.

The cat slowly moves

To the door.

He listens to the sparrows

In the front,

Barely moves,

Slight twitch

To his tail.

It occurs to me

I can see

Perfectly well

At 10:05

As I watch the cat.

The sparrows take turns.

They use the planter

As a dust bath.

Now the cat notices.

He is focused

At 10:11

Ready to leap.

He can see

Perfectly well.

The sparrows bathe in dust

Only for him.
