Signs of Feline Life in the Stark Desert

September 3, 2009 at 10:16 am (Expatriate, Preparing for Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia)

A thin veil of dust lays across my car like
gauzy muslin across an end table.
Sliding in behind the wheel, I see
paddy-pawprints on my windshield,
and my lips curl upward into a smile
- signs of feline life in the stark desert.
