Ode to a blind cat
You purr, you sing, you bare your soul
Of need, hunger and sorrow
You arch your back and let us know
You need some loving, Paro
Your ears and feet are trained to see
For eyes you cannot borrow
One wonders how you gambol so
With blinding frolic, Paro!
You govern, eyeless in the dark
A princess till the morrow
At dawn, you’re queen of every heart
That wakes up to you, Paro
You and I are hesitant friends
The lane we share is narrow
We touch each other gingerly
But we care, don’t we, Paro?
Your blind and Gothic black-cat-ness
Once chilled me to the marrow
But love begins in the strangest ways
Let’s just accept it, Paro
