January Cat

Outside the frost and lethal chill from Siberia, darkness, stars, snow and dead deciduous trees. Yet does not a cat always live partially in summers to come and summers that have gone? My cat who purrs in the darkness when I put the light out and who snuggles on my hand. How much worse a January night without a cat's paw touching my hand in the darkness.

Blue we see in dreams
