There Shall Be No Blank Space Of This Jalousy Poem by RIC BASTASA

she broke a piece
of the window, a plank of glass
and the cat gets in at night
and sleeps on my favorite sofa

i never like this
i don't like a blank space where a cat slips in
and takes a portion of my sofa
this is strictly prohibited in my world

today the plank of glass is delivered
and there is no emptiness left along the lines of this
space
where the wind is free to
to get in and then move out like nothing happened
between the cat and the sofa.
