It is eight o'clock, after dinner... Only distant stars adorn a blue-black moonless sky Quiet evening, no voices screaming, No vendors calling... Not one nocturnal sound, to prove the night's existence I hear numbered footfalls above,  A slightly, heavy weight, presses on the fiberglass roofing Silently informing,  Very careful not to startle me with the roof creaking I am not scared of its presence, for it knows... This is me...I do not fuss, I do not bellow There is no one else, it is only me it always follows, Hidden in the dark, on me it never lurks... A welcome cloaked friend, this stray cat in the shadows... }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Sally Copyright 2014 Rosalia Rosario A. Bayan

TUESDAY NIGHT
It is eight o'clock, after dinner... Only distant stars adorn a blue-black moonless sky Quiet evening, no voices screaming, No vendors calling... Not one nocturnal sound, to prove the night's existence I hear numbered footfalls above,  A slightly, heavy weight, presses on the fiberglass roofing Silently informing,  Very careful not to startle me with the roof creaking I am not scared of its presence, for it knows... This is me...I do not fuss, I do not bellow There is no one else, it is only me it always follows, Hidden in the dark, on me it never lurks... A welcome cloaked friend, this stray cat in the shadows... }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Sally Copyright 2014 Rosalia Rosario A. Bayan
