CK11 A Shard


A Gray cat creeps the shadows,
Searching gaze,
To smells from open windows
And sounds along the gutters,
Searching gaze,
A bird lands with soft flutters,
A popcorn piece left behind,
Hungry stare,
Gray follows the shadows line.
Hungry stare.

A copper piece clattered,
The bird was fast to flutter,
A gray cat snarled in mid leap.
And the door opened across the street.

Six eyes goes toward the Gray cat,
Looking there,
You can not blame them for that,
But the flying shard of glass,
In the air,
Unseen unknown it was cast,
Shattering in bloody bits,
On the ground
Death taking him as he sits,
Throat of blood and broken glass
Now Nowhere
Is he who so deftly cast.
Others Stare

The Gray Cat saunters,
As two men stare and wonders,
What happened, and from where,
The cat finds where the caster stood
And follows a path, as if he should.
Finding a set of stairs rising in the air
And a sewer drain with the cover gone
The trail had ended going to one.
