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.

Angry, you sulk way under

a bed till dragged out whining,

you permit yourself to be

captured and saved. You blink

then your goldengreen eyes

purr and collapse on your back

with paws up and your snowy

white belly exposed all curls

to the plume of your tail.

Ravish me, you say, with kisses

and tunafish because I know

how to accept pleasure. I am

your happy longhaired

id, taking the moment as I

do your finger in my mouth

without breaking its skin,

or eviscerating it instantly

like a mouse.
