Inspired by the first scene of the video posted below.

Cat Before Coffee

Yellow yolk of light

Albumen/glaire/white of

Peach, rose,

Deep indigo

Even a shiver of mint

Coaxed out of an ombre

Pool of sky

Like a gypsy child

Peeking out from under

His mother’s long skirt.

Strands of delight stretch

Stretch for that

Goose down shadow, steeped in sighs and sleep

Reflecting potential, dream potential

Twinkles, suddenly

A firefly mass

Amidst the silhouetted

Smoky skyline.

Life makes no noise but a yawn

A cat watches, quotidian.

Magic drenches the city.

Then,

Normalcy.

Meow. 


poetry is whack y'all.
