20447002286000Ode to Mi Gato by Gary SotoHe’s whiteAs spilled milk,My cat who sleepsWith his bellyTurned toward The summer sky.He loves the sun,Its warmth like a hand.He loves tuna cansAnd milk cartonsWith their dribbleOf milk. He lovesMom when she rattlesThe bag of cat food,The brown nuggetsRaining into his bowl.And my cat lovesMe, because I saved3657600111125Word BankSpanish words in the poem and their meanings:mi gato my catporquebecausehuevoegg00Word BankSpanish words in the poem and their meanings:mi gato my catporquebecausehuevoeggHim from a dog,Because I dressed himIn a hat and a capeFor Halloween,Because I dangled A sock of chicken skinAs he stood on hisHind legs. I love mi gato,Porque I foundHim on the fenderOf an abandoned car.He was a kitten,With a meowLike the rusty latchOn a gate. I carriedHim home in the loopOf my arms.I poured milkInto him, let himLick chunks ofCheese from my palms,And cooked huevoAfter huevoUntil his purringEngine kicked inAnd he cuddledUp to my father’s slippers.That was last year.This spring, He’s excellent at sleepingAnd no goodAt hunting. At nightAll the other cats In the neighborhoodCan see him slinkAround the corner,Or jump from the treeLike a splash ofMilk. We lap upHis love andHe laps up his welcome. ................
