indoors – Selected haiku

27 March – I

sink is flank’d by dish
racks, including one over
defunct dishwasher

two cats, enjoying
sunshine and the flavor of
the new sheer curtains

broke dad’s sander
while isolating with parents
(it’s fine, he fixed it)

finished making a
footstool last month. should have used
thinner hairpin legs.

check out this good boy;
great at cleaning (by eating),
baying at neighbors

unimpressed by snow,
tortoiseshell cat serves looks cold-
-er than winter storm

suspicious and then
disappointed by our wet
offering, Kyp left

that’s not a gargoyle
on the china cabinet:
he loves wet food; purrs

snowfall looks nice
but fails to alleviate
pandemic ennui

I made two carts to
go under my bed. alas,
the cats dislike them
