I’ve been seeing brighter than normal flashes when I turn the lights on in a room

Glints in the air, on the floor

Out of the corner of my eye when I turn my head too fast

That hummingbird won’t leave the cat alone

Buzzing right outside the window

The cat behind the glass

I’m not sure he would even know what to do

He’s so used to kibble at one in the afternoon

He misses my girlfriend, I think

She gives him more attention than I do

She gets back from Costa Rica this afternoon
