Back to my little home
from where i did roam
i went

sitting under a tree
i had been
watching the sunset

a quite night
distinct lack of sound
broken by a falling leaf

then another
landing on my arm
caused me to look up

peering back at me
with bright black eyes
a one legged bird

with a voice
of some dimension
it spoke to me

a warning i was given
"beware of
Lefty the cat"

two houses from mine
sitting on top of a car
sat the cat

with one leg straight up
and missing one ear
with a sneer it told me

on this night
i will sneak in,
and steal your breath.
