My eyes are blurring.
My cat
Is sniffing my pen.
I can hear
The cadence of Tagalog
From the room next to mine.
It's late.
I should be going to sleep.
In the middle
Of licking her tail,
Beau gets up,
Says hi to me,
Then starts crunching delicately
At her kibble.
Maybe that's
How I should approach
Getting to sleep.
Simply
And forthrightly,
Like a cat.
Here goes.
