Friday, 2 AM
A sound awakens me–
the cat vomiting—
I wipe it up from the floor
return to my warm bed
cat cuddles against me,
his purrs
a calming motor
till they stop—
he’s asleep–
I’m not.
I listen to the night sounds
through winter-fastened windows—
no summer sound of mockingbird
singing through the night,
only the buzz of a distant highway
and planes carrying people far away.
But I’m content to be here–
my husband turns in his sleep—
my cat softly snores,
I close my eyes and dream.
