Portrait of a Lady Cat

the see-thru wire black cat 
leans to the blue 
porcelain pot 
falls prey to squirrels 
or a pair of bigger black 
crows her back arched 
tail curved ? happy 
tells wants to interact 
head turned to the front 
porch for her portrait pose 

to remember these  
first days of summer 
forgotten cold kittish days 
of blows weathered thru 
you as if you were made 
of wire hollow and hungry 
but today the leaves unfurl 
the sun gentle rises 
like a young man 
getting dressed for work
