Today promises full

Hmm. Three clients, one new. Two cats. Full day.

Today promises full.

I realize as I begin,

I only count the things

On the calendar,

Appointments and initials

I have written

On the square

That is July 14.

Then there is the kitten,

Still a guest

In a room of her own.

Then there is the older cat.

He lies strategically

Between our bedroom

And the guestroom,

Sprawled like a king.

Today promises full.
