Halloween Romp
My black cat
Blessed with night's camouflage
A midnight prowler
On Allhallows Eve
Cold beauty
Statuesque
Silky movements
Ghoulish approach
Flash of stealth
As alley mice scatter
Battle zone of calisthenics
Fur flecked mayhem
Under a Halloween moon, cloud blurred, quietly grinning
Rodent, lifeless
At my doorstep (like Fed Ex)
"Mission accomplished"
ghostly meows
to summon my appearance
(interrupting my lurch to TV horror
brain freeze fuzzy)
Silent treat - a witching night token
Shovel the corpse to garden peace
A small underworld
plot of bones for mice gone missing
spirits unraveling
under a moon over stuffed with corpses
My black cat
Street savvy
In a Halloween hunt
always lethal
her rag-tag, midnight prowl
in bits and bites
of gore
