The Heat of the Day

hearking back to summer on this snow-graced autumn day

Heat of the Day

The sun glares down on white concrete
in evening warms,
now stings little bare feet.
Upon the couch, or floor or chair
or… really, anywhere
a cat can go,
limbs akimbo,
bellyfur exposed, she
stretches out long as cat can be,
cat-naps away
the heat of the day.
