Smokey
spirit hunter,
you stalk the shadow moon
neck straining to uncoil upon diaphanous night
what whisper have you heard
above the creak of batten board
the shiver of a window pane
arched and graceful is your silhouette
cat eyed guardian
moonlight prowler
paw prancer
settle the unsettled ones from
fear and in insubstantial light
protect with tooth
and claw your Mother’s
night
