Night birds beware 

The cat is watching 

The cat is listening to your songs

From a high perch

From a dark window 

Only the shadow shows

The stark outline

Of the hidden audience 

A salience comes to mind

When the moon has only begun to wane

When lines blur

And fears soften

And just beyond the window pane 

A very intent

Hyper arousal of a

Hyper vigilant audience 

But nevertheless sing

Your lovely filterings

Your renderings of the sounds the stars make makes me question 

Where has the morning begun and the night ended 

Your cheerful chirp 

Softens the stark way we’ve come to define even

Life and Death 

You sing

And I will keep this cat inside for you

💗
