FOR MY DECEASED CAT MOLLY

Crouching low
In the glow
Of the pale moonlight-
A prowling cat,
Sleek and fat,
Is stalking through the night.
Half-concealed
By edge of field,
In and out of light,
Soft and silent,
Swift and violent
Stalking through the night.

"A cat on the prowl
Is prey to the owl"

(or coyote in Molly's case)

Oh...Dear little Molly!
I have a cat.
I understand you.
I am sad.
