the old man awakes
from the half sleep
made difficult, still
feeling bad
sick as a dog they say, like
it was
a joke
feeling better, given medicine
reluctantly
very, very, reluctantly
he stands up, stretches
coughs a little
looks at the mess he's become
his orange and gold striped fur
ragged around the edges
he jumps down
weak, tired, yet still graceful
walks to the open window
and goes outside
soon, he thinks, but not yet
it's too nice to go
he lays down on the deck in the sun
and sleeps better
