What sounds like a distant party horn
The cat snoring in the late afternoon
She wakes embarrassed revels ended
Looks around with famished eyes
To find me staring back amused
'What? What is it?' she tries
To speak the words but turns
Bored by my dumb replies
And burrows back resuming her dream
Hardly knowing this from another
Leaving me to wonder if she goes
To some land where all the animals
Gather after they ascend from the earth
To be consoled I hope having suffered
So much to prove their worth
