My Feline Guide
Often on rainy days, I'm reminded of home,
a place so far in distance yet
so close in heart.
Still I can remember more of such rainy days;
of daring and going out with a torn umbrella
just to buy roasted yellow peas of Rs. 5.
And that's quite a dare!
To relish with red tea,
nestled all we closely near the Meiphu so happily,
unmindful of our impoverished condition.
Knowing that on the tin roofs
were perforations abundantly,
making mama busy all day,
to hold the drippings in buckets.
The rhythmic pattering lulled us otherwise,
not in a cozy, soft bed with warm blankets
but in a straw mattress with frayed Haophi.
Years apart, I have come to this point now,
that often on rainy days
my wistful heart finds cheer from them
in cozy bed, with snugness so close.
Their fur so fluffy, my sanctuary
and by my side, their luscious faces.
My purring friends, my feline confidants/confidantes
bring exultation and placidity right by my side.
Their happiness so pure and bright,
in gentle rain and soft gloaming,
together in this harmonious space,
life's cares vanish without a track and vestige.

My cat woke up, did a big stretch, and yawned. Then she hiccoughed, turned into a small dragon, and coughed up a fireball.
"!!!" I said.
"What?" She shrugged back into cat form.
"You're a shape shifter?"
"All cats are. There's just never any reason to not be a cat."
