Opossum

05 Feb 2013 189
There’s a possum who appears here at odd times, often walking up the path to the house in the middle of the day like a little ghost with a long tail and a blank expression on his face. He likes to slip behind the woodpile, but sometimes he gets so close to the window where I am standing with a glass in my hand that I start to review my sins, systematically going from one commandment to the next. What is it about him that causes me to begin an examination of conscience, calling to mind my failings in this time of reflection? It could just be the twitching of the tail and that white face, but his slow priestly pace also makes a contribution, as do the tiny paws, more like hands, really, with opposable thumbs able to carry a nut or dig a hole in the earth or lift a chalice above his head or even deliver a document, I am thinking as he nears the back door, not merely a subpoena but an order of excommunication with my name and a date written in fine Italian ink and signed with a flourish of the papal sash. ~ Billy Collins
