White Cat of the shore
wisdom embodied in a cat

"The White Cat", by Pierre Bonnard, 1894
I was out when I saw a cat
Anger on its face, grumpy and sincere
White cloaked with dust, turned black
A pale body of furr and fat
I approached with love and care
It gave some of it, back
With an affectionate needful stare
Eyes of warmth suppressed by fear
I realized it wasn't angry
It's I the unwise brat
Who wore a judgy smear
About the Creator
