raze a cat came calling, with eyes
that carved up the night.

those searchlights met
my own less luminous beams,
and for one measured intake
of breath we were kin.

when the air had left our
lungs, she scaled the fence
and scurried out of sight,
her face a mask of fading
monochrome, and mine a pale
prayer against_forgetting.
