Cat Lady
A poem for national cat day – by Alicia Lui
Today a yellow-brown cat dashed across
As I walked with wind on my ears.
Surely you must be cold, I thought.
What a pity to be a stray!
My three cats at home sit and watch
As I latch the windows on approaching gloom.
Together they cry
Another Beijing winter to bloom.
