A Cat and a Fish

A spherical fish lenses larger
And smaller with each turn that's swum.

Size defying, the fish upon a plant stand
Towers over a cubically curled cat.

The cat sleeps inside a cardboard box
Among dank fern era smells.

Eye lids arise slantwise
Like through louvers of a shade.

The eyes close once again
As though in slow motion ecstasy.

Whiskers twitch and paws, taking turns,
Knead dreamscape, Siberian turf.

It is a lazy happiness, the cat has,
Swaying nothing but a tail's end.

Centered, the cat has no need
To find a fourth flap out.

But the bulgy eyed fish is held
By the weight of water and of glass. (7/16/22)
