The Cat in the Kitchen

Have you heard about the boy who walked by

The black water? I won't say much more.

Let's wait a few years. It wanted to be entered.

Sometimes a man walks by a pond, and a hand

Reaches out and pulls him in.

There was no

Intention, exactly. The pond was lonely, or needed

Calcium, bones would do. What happened then?

It was a little like the night wind, which is soft,

And moves slowly, sighing like an old woman

In her kitchen late at night, moving pans

About, lighting a fire, making some food for the cat.
