Night


Sedimentary sighs of still water
roll the soft hills of plenty,
but I, in my own fashion, delete
the coming with waves.

It was just like that
when suddenly soft fur,
black, long and soft,
poked at my ankle.

Night is a harsh mistress
when all is misplaced
and I is only I.

"Night is a harsh mistress
when all is misplaced
and I is only I."

My favorite part.
As poets we draw inspiration from places that others simply can't see.
This is great.
