For
a couple of
days the cats
were hypnotized
by the birds
in the leafless
rosebush out
the window.
They'd stare
out the window,
and Cora would
chatter her
teeth with
bloodlust
...
...
and look for
ways out.
Cora.
Eventually she
became accustomed
to the birds.
Jake
too, although
they never
seemed to
bother him
as much as
they'd bothered
her.
March
7 ... the two
of them sleeping
on the chair
under the window
... I liked
the shapes they
made together,
the pattern
of stripes and
white and ears
and curled backs
... so I took
this picture
and here you
go.
