Cotton (a poem in the Fabrics series)

Cotton

by Sheri

The squirrel digs deep in the cushion
stealing the comfort of summer clouds
for a better bed these humans leave out
pulling with those razor teeth and claws
his find is luck when everything is open
the air itself turned soft this week
and not as hard as a frozen face of the moon
the squirrel knows it won't last
but he might not last too and there's work
to be done
