The Critic by Martha Christina

Yesterday’s mockingbird
returns today, bringing
an addition to its repertoire.
To my ears, it mews a good
imitation of my cat, but she
merely twitches an ear
in the bird’s direction,
doesn’t open her eyes.



Martha Christina is a frequent contributor to Brevities. Longer work appears in Innisfree Poetry Journal, Naugatuck River Review, earlier postings of Red Eft Review, and most recently in Star 82 Review, and Crab Orchard Review. She has published two collections: Staying Found (Fleur-de-lis Press) and Against Detachment (Pecan Grove Press).
