I stop and read the reasons why
a black cat should come home with me.
A kitten face with gothic eyes,
little panther, ragged, thin –
a black cat should come home with me.
No one else will take him.
Little panther, ragged, thin.
What do I know about the night?
No one else will take him.
Darkness summons with its muse.
What do I know about the night?
I have no love for solitude.
Darkness summons with its muse,
leaves me open, broken-edged.
I have no love for solitude.
A poster at the grocery store
leaves me open, broken-edged.
I stop and read the reasons why.
