Peaceful Winter Day
The scent of vanilla and pumpkin
lingers in the air. The dishwasher
plays its song, a rhythm
like binaural beats
coming from the kitchen.
Alexa plays “Soothing music”,
gentle guitar strums
rinse and repeat, something
in G major.
She plays music
with no words:
music that’s simple
and clean.

My red and white cat sits
on top of the gray couch,
and in a melancholy way,
she looks at the floor.
She hesitates
to pounce
on the carpet.
My white and gray cat
licks his paw. He sits
among his toys:
a beheaded mouse, a giant carrot,
a bird with blue feathers, a rope
of yarn, and a red ball.
***
I’m sitting in my living room
