leaves

the man takes the broom out to the back porch
sweeps off autumn’s fallen leaves

the cat rubs against the man’s leg
sees the broom
scampers off

the man sweeps

the cat sits in the yard
watches the man

the cat’s tail swishes
this way
that way
fallen leaves rustle

the cat’s tail swishes
this way, that way
rustling fallen leaves
in the yard
