the saddest day
gave way
when the cat came home
to elation
got off work early
watched birds by binocular
tacos and coke
we made love
fell asleep to maurice ravel
nine inch nails and
the smiths

my cat waits on the balcony. all night he waits. in the mornings he waits. scanning the sky. swishing his tail. one day all of this intense focus and patience will end with a bird. in mouth.

accompanied by gulls
by Santa Barbaras willet
long-billed fletcher
elegant terns and reddish egret we
shared coffee and song stared
into the morning light
vrikshasana
upright
full-throated
laughing
#katyamills
the bird sung so well they gave her a stint in Vegas
a symphony orchestra a platinum
bar dome the finest raw
foods. weekends find her perched
high in pecking order over raw chia pumpkin seed
blends drinking oat milk throat coat
tea couldn’t spot her tail feathers
in a line up #katyamills
blondy and the black cat
brothers contemplative for hours
on this high balcony
only a mouthful of feathers
will end the procession
of cans

the winds rose overnight and compelled us all to feel. limbs of sycamores fell into the streets. the cat brought me a headless robin in a mouth full with feathers. i believe i am chosen to be raw. nothing comes easy anymore. i tell my story by words. life has never been so enticing.
Burrs in my shoelaces
Pollen in my hair
I saw a great blue heron
By the river there
I moved toward
In wonder
He unfolded
his wings
And flew
Chalky
Color
Kinda
WILD!
Shade a saturation
touch up from the
sky
(Tremendous wingspan
Too)
In our cyberfrenzied age
Thank the merciful gods!
The heron
Still great
Still blue
i said what
you heard
the cat killed
the bird
the sprinklers wave
water wands
they
cross us
in third
i don’t really know
the thumb
told
the toe
decidedly situated
at odds
in
the snow
the bird killed
the cat
now how about
that?
the fingers crossed
toes and the
half
and the
half
had to laugh
having heard just one
third of the
word
you gave me
your word
you said what
i heard now
say…
what good
was that?
