GATO NOIRE
Pretty round green lantern lights
Dancing in the starless night
Their rhythm steady, coming near
I wait to see what will appear.
A graceful shadow shape emerges
Carrying an ample burden.
From her mouth she sets it down,
A white kitten edged with brown,
Then slips into the ebon veil
Her emerald lanterns dance again.
She brings to me a second gift
This time it is black as she.
I open wide my door to her
One at a time she carries them
To behind my water bed
Where she feels they will be safe.
Oh, Miss Midnight, if only humans could
Love and care the way you do!
You are beautiful, Belle Gato.
