can't catch

it's one of those days

when you can't catch
a break.  when the words
that she hears are not
the words that you say.

i sent her out on the street,
left her to fend for herself
in the dark and the cold and the wet.
another whole night.


and here i am in your warm
house. foxy jumping on my shoulders
makes you apologize.  makes me
smile.  this is a weight
i can bear.  cloth and thread.
the coming together of colors: white
and blue and blue and yellow and red
and blue.     and white.

the thread and the cat and the street

are impossible to unravel
