The Prey of Time

The snow--
cool and white--
crisp and fresh--
in the moonlight
a black cat
crosses a path,
and I think:
'such a cruel rap
this critter has gotten!'-
sleek and hushed like the snow
seeking to enter every crevice
reminded by the wind
to cover ground
quickly as possible
all creatures
the prey of time….

Wow! Great timing and feel. I love these lines ... "sleek and hushed like the snow seeking to enter every crevice reminded by the wind to cover ground quickly as possible"
