A ball,
a large warm ball
vibrates into a purr,
a one-eyed, half-closed love pirate stare.
The ears move small movements,
very small movements,
big paws click on the hardwood floor
like a secretary's heels clicking down a hall.
Somebody very cute is rounding the corner.
This is one of my favorite sounds.
More favorite than the sound
of the forbidden pounce on the a.m. bed,
more favorite than the sound
of hunger for food
or love because
they typically sound the same.
A ball,
a large, warm, furry ball
at my feet or by my side
is love just the same
and never less.
