outdoor indoor cat

Another in a series of poems about Mackenzie who has decided she doesn't want to live indoors anymore. (BTW, does anyone have a barn for an outdoor-only cat? Winter is coming and I don't have a place for her to keep warm outdoors.)


outdoor indoor cat

in the tree line
amidst the slate
which marks where
a garden once was
she sits camouflaged
paws tucked underneath
eyes closed contentedly
nose high sniffing
the air for danger
each breeze that
ruffles her whiskers
brings a status report
from her new home
