Cat Prints

It snowed again last night,

Not much, but with much wind.

Shallow snow dunes

And concrete bald spots.

Cat footprints in the snow

Coming up the front steps,

Passing along the north side,

Stopping to check something,

And then going down the back walk,

Under the bird feeder,

And heading into the alley

And gone.

Just that.

One cat,

A little snow,

And a lot of wind.
