CHO-CHO

At the Animal Disposal League

you reached through the bars

avid to live. Discarded offspring

of Maine coon cat,

your hunger saved you,

fuzzy and fist-sized.

Now you are sunny, opaque,

utterly beyond words, alien

as the dreams of a pine tree.

Sometimes when I look at you

you purr as if stroked.

Outside you turn your head

pretending not to see me

off on business, a rabbit

in the marshgrass, rendezvous

in the briars. In the house

you’re a sponge for love,

a recirculating fountain.
