Poem

Spongy brown fingers quenched by gentle tide
Eerie boardwalk creaks near the white sandy beach*
Lapping crystal mix of silt risen rush
Injects me with lovely imaginings
Purrballs scooping milk with ridgy cupped tongues

I'm zebra confined, house stripes shade on sun
Pallet paradise by the pier, free rent
Fat foot kids trample, rudimentary rods
Raised to find fish among pungent mangroves
The label I hide on my wine bottle*

Some ask can they come into my cubby
I wander off, tell them sure, it's all yours
Kids are too big, -  I like them less than cats
They told me of the psycho cat's demise*
Psychotic in my absence, poor purrballs

A busy home befitted me, writhing
With action, scratching, litters, loud implores 
Wrapped leg tailed affection restored meaning
Virus had no impact, purr friend Kingdom 
Council had no business disrupting us

Sabbatical dreams after quarantine* 
Let me sit again amongst my purrballs
Families leave with their buckets fishless
Within woody walls, water tint glass green
I lay blanketed by fish fattened cats 

Piled purposefully, though haphazardly 
On rocking vessel built of curved pallets 
Bobbing on mangrove mazes burgeoning 
With seafood delights no can can contain 
Vino voyages bring my purrballs back
