Feline Dream
.
.
Winter comes like a blank page
dropping over the city.
Houses glow in
T.V. light,
dulled and eerier.
Somewhere my mind has lost itself,
trekking through this burning time.
I see the eyes of animals in every place.
I see a kestrel cribbed in the sky, beating
against clouds and taunting crows.
I do not know what I am:
I live the nights through like a cat,
soothed by poetry
and the moon-white
fury
of solitude
under stones.
