Toast

At five-thirty in the morning,
sudden and unreasonable overwhelming
bliss and the cat,
warm and needful, curled
around my belly

both of them -- bliss and cat
wrapped half-around me
like an unfastened belt.

Left open at the front,
dead center at my weakest spot,
I am weak and soft,
undeluded and unprotected,
filled near the point of explosion
with our parting words.
