Bit of White China
Flash goes the camera but the cat is immune. Facing more or less our way, she gazes past us into a room where her eyes provide the only light. The cat sits on a tabletop, ginger fur pressed to bare wood. And another presence, a jade plant. The colour green made its first earthly appearance in the leaves of such a plant. The cat ignores this thought and gazes within with jade green eyes. Near the plant’s base a bit of white china, shaped more or less like a cat. A work of art. Ears up, on the run. Marjorie Power Marjorie Power’s poetry collection, SEVEN PARTS WOMAN, is forthcoming in September from WordTech Editions. Her poems appear in one previous full length collection and six chapbooks, all from small presses, as well as many journals and anthologies. She lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband.
