nocturnal
as he woke up to the light
the brightness of the day was clouded
the growing walnut spread its young twigs
higher and higher reaching up
his second floor balcony
the overwhelming shadows…
he broke the garden scissors
in attempts of trimming the intruder
letting the light in
just as the dust began to settle
in the darkest of corners
the silently applauding neighbours…
he cleaned the house
and went to bed too tired
forgot to feed the cat
forgot to close the doors
forgot to say good night
the shining of the full moon…
he dreamed about their cat
jumping off the balcony
compelled by thе moon
hungry for prey and in search
of another horny cat
the sounds of car brakes and broken bones
he brought the remains of his dream
and put the body of the crushed cat on the kitchen table
bringing the biggest knife and sharpen it
as the autopsy progressed – chipping and dissecting
he understood the reasons for death
the funeral’s tonight at 21:07 – same place
if there’s anything left for proper burial
p.s. cats are nocturnal animals, as such they are compelled by the night…
close all doors, feed them well and have faith… they might come to cuddle
