June Your Short ArtWrite Prompt
by Benjamin Neilsen
the cats who ordinarily saunter,
lounge and ignore,
ducked out of the frame today
do they understand art?
can they see how fur, eyes and insouciance
might interrupt cool, white lines?
are they aware their presence blocks
the swollen, magnetic sea,
that tugs me into blue?
no, they're just cats;
maybe they're napping.
