Silent Symphony

Neck Nocturne

as feet on
the
parlor organ
pedals
her
front paws
push

composing
counterpane lullabies
tuneless
toe taping
instinctual
beats

silent symphonies
syncopated
nape
necking
canoodling
cat

the clavicle
clavichord
her
singular instrument
of play

comforting duets
hypnotic footed
fanfare
our
daily
harmonized
psalm


For the Record,
This day came in overcast and warmer. A quiet Sunday surrounded by holiday fixings and lists.

The cat neck massage is a daily habit, morning and night, pin tipped paws can sometimes be a bit unnerving, but a comfort to her and to me as well.
