Home Haiku

Wife on the chair there
Cat here by me on the couch
Family circle

I sit in the dark
Sounds outside, in here, downstairs
Third floor symphony

Cat lies on table
Tail twitching, body curved
Sleeping liquid flesh

Wife in bed by eight
Around midnight I creep in
Shadow in the night

The cat sleeps and sleeps
Then wakes, rises, yawns, stretches
Settles, sleeps some more

Feeling down today
Most things going well lately
Used my energy

There’s no I in team
But there is a little me
Me, myself, I, them
