A Black Cat, A Woman And A Shadow Poem by RIC BASTASA

a black cat goes inside the room
in the steps of his own feline silence
looks at the body of the naked woman
laying on the floor leaning on the wall

between them a glassful of wine
and a shadow

then the cat walks away slips through the window
and jumps to the other side of the building

then the woman screams. The night is long and crazy.
Tomorrow morning, another number is added

IT numbs the senses of the city
The cat understands that it has nothing to do with all these.
