Moonlit Night

Ink black liquid shadows pour across the lawn. In blue air cats glide in and out of moonbeams, slip into pools of darkness – disappear. Barn owl ghostly white night angel swoops – plummets – soars and in its claws – a captured mouse. Somewhere a baby cries dogs bark trains pass. Overhead a plane, lights bright, comes in to land. Shadows reclaim the silence. Cats and owls depopulate the suburbs of mice, and the unseen milky way spills its light across the night sky.
