You may not have noticed
but cats are everywhere
But why only black cats
make you scared ?

Her footsteps are silent enough
to go unnoticed
Her reflection is not something
that you termed
attractive

yet
you stopped
every time
or take few steps back
when she crosses your path

Did you see a ghost,
with a scary smile

or
when she turns her face
towards you
through her golden eye
what you have seen
is
a reflection of yours
which lies
beneath your skin
