a more intimate footing
Mona, 20 year old cat,
sleeps the sleep of the dead
at her mother's feet.
Upside down
she in effect kisses
the hem of her sheet,
giving commanding murmurs
if the peda-position
is changed;
the foot being out there
thermostatically
arranged.
Uncovered,
Mom-lovered,
Mona makes herself small
proving again, yes, again
her 1 size
will fit all.
