For this house in the woods, 
it's the season 
when mice try to move in, 
and the cats enact 
lengthy, 
drawn-out 
executions.

  1. My cat has grown too old
    to stand alone
    against the rising tide of mice
    that each October brings.
    He needs the calvary: traps
    and the artillery, the silent bars of poison
    massed in the attic

    1. Time to bring in reinforcements. All a house needs is one good, obsessive mouser.
