Restless Summer Eve

Little fan rattles
But diverts neither heat nor
Listless thoughts and fears.

a haiku for my old cat

When life (or a cat) gives you sloppy hairballs, make a haiku?

Yesterday, I found it cathartic--after I steamed another spot on the carpet--to compose the following:


Grizzled grand-tabby,
With his unsubtle fragrance,
Sours soft August's breath.
