travelling

Noisy freezing snow & sneet, cat on the carpet, red wool plaid, breaking up wood, "wandering thirteen valleys crying out, it coulda been me". Two nites ago warmer than it had been, cottontail bunny hopping around in headlights, 2 dogs run in front of the truck, one dark right before the model railroad church ( Uncommon Carriers), man running across street with coca cola. Kitty ignores her water bowl and drinks out of the giant green plastic watering can

cold hard dark

Peals of thunder and large leaves falling fast.
A lot of raining, little kitty makes itself at home half under a sleeping bag, cooked squash for supper, late for the nursing home in the black cold hard dark, in the black hard rain
