She sits there
waiting for the tom
or a robin. She preens her long
Siamese coat. She waits for the
Someone to let her back in to her
comfort, her food bowl, her safe bed.
She tucks against the
elements and unseen enemies
and imagined dangers and her fears.
She and I wait on our fences,
not willing to venture out, sitting on
both sides of a decision.
