Me & the cat saw a possum scamper up the plum tree
by our letter box. We raised our gaze in the quarter light
& spied it on a high branch, a silhouette against the smoked
dusk sky.
& last night, as we shared a smoke, the cat & I,
on the veranda, we heard a cry that turned our ears,
& a moment later saw an owl spread against the sky.
thanks Peter, & John. glad you enjoy
And the owl, spreading against sky. Very nice.
Ah, I’m enjoying the quiet moment with you and cat, amico, the daintiness of cigarette smoke in the dusk!
