ON THE DEATH OF A CAT

Franz Wright

In life, death
was nothing
to you: I am

willing to wager
my soul that it
simply never occurred


to your nightmareless
mind, while sleep
was everything


(see it raised
to an infinite
power and perfection)—no death


in you then, so now
how even less. Dear stealth
of innocence


licked polished
to an evil
lustre, little


milk fang, whiskered
night
friend—


go

  1. Good poem; good links as usual. I insulted a visible wingnut by calling them a Big Fibber and showing them being shamed by the Chicken, and was thrown into Twit Gaol until sometime next week for hateful conduct; might not come back, might go back to posting at The Unread Blog. Spending time in Twitland has been an education in things and self, as it should be.
