tabby ones, grey ones, tiggy- striped-tiger ones.
tiny undernourished ones. squinty, sleepy,
glass-bottle-green eyes, electric-shock hairies
that
recoil at your breath. ones so black that you only
see
their eyes in the night time. and a pair of pink
milky ears.
nut-brown, bony man
strokes and swirls with them, tails twining,
cigarette smoke salsas on the breeze. a
wooden ballerina in jeans and check,
tangoing on the cobblestones with
the cats of castelnuovo.
