Lavender

The kitten prowls in search of grandfather cat, hiding on the speaker box. The house smells of lavender. Me... I am here. It is not as simple as it looks.

The house smells of lavender.

The kitten sits

On the tweed reindeer.

I read poetry

Of being here,

Simply here.

I think

If it only were

So simple.

Day five of Christmas

The wise folk are on their way

Lavender

Kitten

Tree

Wise folk

Me in a chair

With directions

On what I need to do

Until Florida next week.

Lavender

Kitten

Tweed reindeer

The cats play chase

Around the Christmas tree

Me

I am here

Here I am.

Lavender

Lavender
Lavender.

Simplifying Christmas

When my now 27 year old son was 3, a Siamese cat appeared at the door.  My son wanted to name him Rabbity.  We settled on Barry.  Now we have a tweed reindeer next to the tree.  We have named him Rabbity.  It is too good a name to go unused.

  

We simplified Christmas

Then remembered the cat bed

We saw at TJ Maxx.

At the store

To buy the cat bed

We saw a three and a half foot high

Tweed reindeer.

We have named him

Rabbity.

I received a sloth stuffed animal

For Christmas.

He is sitting

On Rabbity’s back

Next to the Christmas tree.
