Awoke
Looked into the mirror
With cat eyes and teeth
And a sure bout of sympathy pain
Needling internally

Took a picture of the sun as it rose
Over our back yard
In its shallow arc against the south
“If it wasn’t so cold”
He shook the snow off his head
And his left paw

If it wasn’t so cold
could you live forever?
