A Hiss and a Bark in the Dark
A dog, with a wag and a bark,
Tried to play with a cat in the dark.
The cat, with a hiss,
Said, "You're missing the bliss,
Of a nap, you uncouth, furry spark!"

curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction--
a key sways gently—secrets linger beyond the lock
silhouettes dance silently—truth hides between their steps

Country Road Food ChainYowling and howling late at night
Meeting of cats by the bright moonlight
Wild yipping and one long scream
Coyotes cornered something by a stream
It might be a cat, it’s a sacrifice
Excited yipping announcing it is nice
The food chain is alive down my country road
A long black rat snake just ate a toad...

At 1:30 a.m. I felt like I was being watched
At 2:29 I retreated to the...

the music of the wind.
It was my daily stroll around the neighborhood,
my daily clarity.
It was there, and then I beheld the cat,
the leashed Siamese cat, prowling and smelling.
A man clutched this leash, seeming absorbed,
seeming preoccupied by cat rubbing and sniffing,
