The Gray Cat (today's poem)

The Gray Cat

by Sheri


The gray cat moves through the parking lot elongated

a white ship over white caps over curbs and bumps

even the moon sits on velvet and the sun comes

as a half drunken sailor who saw no bed

the gray cat makes sounds of screeching brakes

down through the neighborhood on bald paws

a white ship is rising and falling in my left eye

wood on the deck and being robbed by the

eye in the sky it is not something I'd put a plank in

or picture the lines to be a flag the gray cat

has been out for months leaving a pity against

the dawn of too little we wake and find
