poetry# - notes like a cat by

for Nicole

this life Caesar
that life Antony
no life Brutus
even air will sleep

ceiling cracks
dust misting desk
translucence i am
like a cat by

last year gold
this year green
next year gray
wake then sleep

street cars cut
into dream cake
with purrs i am
like a cat by

tomorrow walks
today is lain
yesterday knelt
and fell asleep

the girl makes
noise be delicate
sensing i feel
like a cat by
