Moonlight and cat songs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Moonlight and Cat Songs.Last night the moon was fullJames, the cat and I sat on the roof he looked for micethat, lives under the tiles while I was spellbound bythe power of Luna’s light.Got up I did tried to touchthe moon but fell off the roofand landed on a thorny bush.When I looked up the cat waslooking down with a mouseIn its mouth. It isn’t my cat,James belongs to a dyke whoused to live nearby till policearrested her for stealing bloodat the local hospital on nights when the moon was soft as butterleft on a picnic table a sunnysummer’s day. The cat watchedme without a shred of empathy as I limped into the house tofind some sticking plaster. When I came back out the moon wasn’t there but the far Mountain had splatters of gold on its top.
