Momma
once
told me,
"be like a cat,
and find
a little
spot
of sunshine
for yourself."

in all the darkness
of winters cold
shadows

when the sun
don't show its
face at the
window for long

you'll find the cat
staking a claim
to that
lil bit
o sunshine
that peeks
its way into
the room

warmin her
bones

stretchin out

lickin herself
clean

purrin her
worries off

takin
a bitty nap
to while
the darkness
away
