BEAUTIFUL TABBY SHOWS INTERIOR OF HER EYEBALLS

WHILE CHRISTMAS CACTUS STARTS TO BLOOM NEAR HER RIGHT EAR

A STILL LIFE WITH CAT, CACTUS AND TOILET PLUNGER, NOT JUST ANY PLUNGER

a plunger with pizzazz

once yellow

but worn over decades

of heavy pushing

to its present striation

showing the natural wood

underneath/

a cacophony of glorious color

this place/

still

life
