sherpa– the cat – has a
half-moon on her neck.
has two
moons in her full eyes: yellowed pages,
i think some secrets
only the middle ages
could have dreamed the demons lodged there.
when she
sneaks around my study
all the wallpictures turn their eyes,
the table shudders when her half-moon steals from
my water-colour of the courtesan
to the woman bathing.
