shadow

In Shadow Alley the black cat walks

With a strut to her step

Feather light and flawless

Hips sway from side to side,

Her chin juts up when she strolls through

Shadow Alley.

The black cats eyes narrow to slits

Back arched as she pierces the veil

Of night with a sleek sickle tail

Held high

She walks along alone in the shadows

of the alley.
