The cat and I sit and watch
The brave red finch on the fresh-cut lawn
Feasting on the fallen dandelion seeds
Kitty can almost taste it and I
Who feel responsible for both
The animal who hungers for me
And the indifferent cautious bird
One glaring at the other
One daring to stray near
Wonder how close we might get today
To some Franciscan kind of glory
Bird perched on my shoulder
Cat curled in my lap
Bird chirping some story
Cat taking a nap
