A DARK STREET

This narrow road waits

For someone to walk on it

The street lantern will light 

And windows will fly open

To mark her passage.

The city's seven corners

Will send cats to see,

To remember, to recount 

Things they saw and 

Things they'll invent.

Me? I won't need to listen

To the cats' reports.

If the walker, long-awaited, 

Is you I'll know by the slender noise

Of your recidivist shadow.
