Disappointment

Perhaps the kitten will cheer her up.

Disappointment arrives

For a visit.

I’m not sure how long

She will stay.

I have put her in the guest room

With the kitten.

Perhaps the kitten

Will cheer her up.

It is difficult

To remain uncheered

In the presence of a kitten:

Chasing flies

Springing off the walls

Placing a water bottle cap

In the toe of every shoe

She finds.
