Black Cat



Black Cat



Of this lake
So silent
Like the floating hyacinths

Staring, envying the birds who dive for snack
A cat, whose fur is lonesome black
Sits upon the bamboo floor
Sits upon the door
Where miles and miles of thoughts lay
Slothful above the waters
Dancing the warm winds slow.

At the center in the heart of this lake
Where the fishes go stout of peaceful tide and prey

The cat dreams
Of dreams of sun-borne beams
Beaming from the holes on the walls
Bringing to light
The invisible dusts
Of dreams of kingdoms found beneath
The stillness of Velcro-weeds intertwining
With blooms
So rich as
The finest drapery
Of the Siamese fighting fish
Swimming in his dreams
In the water-colored depths
where air does not breathe.

The cat sleeps at the center of this lake
Detached from a world
Where dreams don’t breathe.
