Today the sun slept,
Enveloped in clouds.
No warmth from above today.
A cat with a fluffy tail
Sat underneath a twisting tree,
Looking upward—
Perhaps wondering where
The sky fire was.
Maybe it wondered if the clouds
Tasted as they looked.
Milky.
It seemed curious, as it rested
Under the leafless branches.
Its fur, colored and swirled
Like chocolate and peanut butter.
I wish the cat looked my way.
It seemed too busy looking
For the missing sun.
