All Hallows Cat
Slow and silent
dark and sleek
leaving no footprints
no scent, no spraint
that night she stalked
no shadows cast
beneath the hazy moon.
..
Weaving onward
across the field
and into the hollow
beside the pool
she sat a while
there looking in
with no reflection seen.
..
She stared at the water
calm and still
the suddenly, deeply
down in it’s throat
a vortex whiled
and gathering in
leaves and rocks
and then herself
were thrashing about
into the darkness
leaving alone
an echoing cry
and the lowering
hazy moon.
