invisible moon
stroking
the black cat

my words
in her ears
like ice fishing

when they finish
upstairs—
wind chimes

vet’s office—
the fixed cat
questions my scent

on Lover’s Bridge
a cigarette light
pacing

four chopsticks
wave out
a long fly ball

candlelight
in her eyes
on her eyelids

in the cold tonight
its cries
no longer a puppy’s
