The Cat and the Sea
- by Ronald Stuart Thomas 48
It is a matter of a black catOn a bare cliff top in March
Whose eyes anticipate
The gorse petals;
The formal equation of
A domestic purr
With the cold interiors
Of the sea's mirror.
Pisces
- by Ronald Stuart Thomas 44
Who said to the trout,You shall die on Good Friday
To be food for a man
And his pretty lady?
It was I, said God,
Who formed the roses
In the delicate flesh
And the tooth that bruises.
