Varsha 2024 Poems - Terry Trowbridge
Cat and Hawks
By Terry Trowbridge
A neighborhood black cat
Makes a striking anthracite figure
against a sky-grey road
in complete nonchalance about the raptors
circling the orchard, also looking for mice.
But if the cat were to suddenly parasail
in the disassembling claws up high,
the neighbors would blame the coyotes,
not the birds.
And none of it makes a difference
to the road or the sky.
