kneads my sore leg with needle-like claws
tucked away in my lap, she feels the kittens
playing insider her - it must be spring
but outside the door the piles of snow
and roof-icicles tell a winter story.

A sijo. Chachamaru is the cat on the cover of Where the Opium Cactus Grows. Besides posing for poetry book covers she enjoys chasing mice and fighting with other cats. The picture shows Chachamaru, her son Joel (the orange one) and her two stolen kittens.
