KITTY

Jan Strządała

KITTY

I remained silent

until

I touched the blackness

it was hot and soft

I spoke

silently

and silence filled her impermeably

fair roughness was purring

in her body

she brushed against my feet

and I felt a flame

with our fingertips we lit up the stars

they were pulling away from the black sky

as words

and they were falling on our bodies

through the window in the ceiling

I'd broken it across the night

that day

you'd not return till morning.
