BLACK and WHITE

BLACK and WHITE

and it ain't the cookie

 - Joy Krauthammer

Low, long,

deep throaty moans, meows.

Big black cat

stands on haunches

face to face with

large black and white cat

lying down.

Action on

couch cushion,

couchless

foam stuffing protruding.

Cat's claws?

Several feet high

on top of

piled furniture

he doesn't move.

Is it a him? 

His territory, he groans.

Or are they mating

by my bedroom door?

Intruders

at the far end

of my back porch.

I listen to the choir

from the distance

wondering what is

their intention.

I can see,

peering out into

the dark of night

from my kitchen window

near where I type

just past midnight,

the action with sound

and it ain't healing.

Good.

Maybe they are black and white

mice police.
