“Little cat”
Little cat
with amber eyes,
why do you keep me up
most nights,
as if to say
my job isn’t done,
that the moon is full,
and the stars are deftly hung
in a sky of sapphire wool?
What care I, you crazy fool?
Artemis of the hunt and moon
beckons you to stealthily follow
across the fields of emerald silk
to a dark and barren hollow,
but you would be lost
and miss your bowl
filled with 9 Lives
at least, I think so.
You’d be missed if you go.
Little cat
with marmalade coat,
let’s both sail away
on dreamland’s boat.
