As The Cat

As the cat – William Carlos Williams

As the cat

climbed over

the top of

the jamcloset

first the right

forefoot

carefully

then the hind

stepped down

into the pit of

the empty

flowerpot


William Carlos Williams - Ice boxes and refrigerators  
The Great Figure  
Rooted they grip down and begin to awaken 
Alas! no white chickens 
When dreams are broken
