Dervil – A Most Unusual Cat
Remembering an extraordinary cat #NationalCatDay
DERVIL
DERVIL
Dervil was the only cat
I ever knew with opposable thumbs
He didn’t really have them
but you could see
that he remembered them
from a recent incarnation
as a slightly lower life form
Studiously unrolling the roll
and flushing it down the toilet
Standing tall to grasp and turn
handles on the doors
THE HANGED MAN
THE HANGED MAN
White hands red
with the blood of eighty
million red men dead
With a soul
that’s been through a Sioux or two
Upside down on a tarot card
hanging between the worlds
AGAIN
AGAIN
To look out across sunsets and centuries
to see time as nothing – – – love as all
To touch new skins in wonder
and come together again
Under a sky, dark with a million
ancient stars
