Ancient City and Friendly Cat
Her mesa smile beams beatific When enchanted adobe melts into clouds On a juniper afternoon piled for bread Our tour a fairy tale on the slippery edge Where magic meets reality in a melting pot We choose the path less traveled On an ancient trail instead of a bus
On our descent a friendly cat chaperones us But her speech is most uncanny “I am your nagual guide to keep you safe Because I know these heights are harrowing. You see I am a person in the form of a cat. You must be thinking, ‘there must be a ventriloquist Nearby giving this furry creature her words.’”
My wife wants a cat when we get home She tells our friend, “If you come back with us I’ll feed you warm milk in the evening.” The cat replies, “That sounds divine. But I’ve got bread to bake.” Feline fur becomes a shawl On a woman whose grin is Cheshire in a lost surreal

Thanks so much, Cat. This is based on my wife and my climb down a pueblo. A cat accompanied our descent.

This is a beautiful and spiritual read which is dripping with an almost mysteriousness to it for lack of better word John I like the connection here, guess what I mean with the mysteriousness with it all. It's not really mysterious but I can't quite think of what I want or mean to say. Mystical maybe in a sense? The connection with the cat with your wife? Idk. hard to express quite what I mean there but it's certainly divine. Cats are spiritual creatures and as I've said your wife is with you still in spirit. Really enjoyed this

Thank you said much, my friend for your evocation of mystery and mysticism in my words, My wife was a very spiritual person so that description fits perfectly along with the cat. And she loved all creatures great and small. Much gratitude for joining my wife and me on our adventure.

Gracias mi amiga. The descent from the mesa along with the cat were real. But the anthropomorphism of the cat was my invention. I do recall Marsha petting the cat.
