MANOUCHE THE CAT

MANOUCHE by Foutoux


Manouche, small eyed and white
Cat of a thousand lives
Treading a parquet floor
You remind me of Tsarinsas and
Snow, sledges and rheindeer.

How patient you are
Manouche Manouche.
Your mistress crouches over
You as a lioness over a cub
Administering homeopathic cures.
