A black cat laying its head on a human leg, facing away from a tv centre — the speaker and cords visible behind him — and with eyes wide open looking at my cheering.

From a black as night inside of a house, looking out through three windows — the left and right are open — looking out on a dawn or dusk view of a river, the opposite treed shore, with little pine trees appearing in the two side windows.

I slow blink
he’s
sitting in the doorway
looking
sitting at my feet
looking
sitting at my shoulder
looking

deeply through my eyelids
into the sleep fog
of my brain

best of dreams

goodbye Max
Max, a black cat sits looking down on me as I lay in bed at night. Only it’s left side of its head (eye and ear) and a bit of his shoulder are in the shot because Max was so close to me I could hardly get my phone between him and my face. #cats #family #poetry

Goodnight Max

I wasn’t prepared
for how quiet
the world would be

or the house

I want
one more night
small creaking stairs
plaintive calling in the dark
meandering
in and out of the room

Antagonistic
and existentially
loving together,

ironically,

they were named after exceptional characters,
from a Wes Anderson film.

We
are
heartbroken,
our eyes
Icelandic waterfalls,

but he
even to the end
looked us in the eye
and said…

it’s ok.

Max the #Zoomcat died today
19.5yrs old
and as stoic a cat
that ever existed.

His brother Herman
predeceased him by 1.5yrs.

But there is something about the colour contrast and the contrast of the jagged rocks and the smooth boulders that have been tossed into the jagged… awesome artistry of nature.

Near Dingle, Ireland.
Reddish jagged rock thrusting upwards, small grey smooth stones in a bottom cup of the rock, and a black boulder and a grey smooth boulder thrown on top of the red jagged rock. A bit of soil and grass can be seen above against a cloudy sky.

They have a point!

… and quite a jagged edge

Some of the amazing views to realize one can have sitting in a brew pub in Canmore Alberta.
