Broken Glass & Aluminum Castles

the silence shatters
in the back alleys of your mind,
a cat springs from a fire escape.
hitting the ground, she stumbles
near imperceptible,
revealing the last vestiges of kittenhood.
recovering herself, 
she slinks unnoticed through a doorway
shimmering, it disappears behind her;
the last way out.
