wee comes up the porch steps like
a thief skittish head bobbing an weaving turning left and
right and left again
Christssake wee theyre backyard steps not steps to a gallows
or assassins lying in wait for ambush
but shes new at the house
unexpected
unexpected
and he adored unexpected
wees a feral cat still youngvery small hes always had an affinity for runts long
shots anything or anyone vying against the odds
his longstanding insider his confederate and friend a daddylonglegs he named appleseed disappeared
the same day wee appearedhe
never found her body
it was plausible to him appleseed
left her bathroom corner its confines and shapeshifted into wee a quiet spider gone feral cat would be suspicious
jittery first day in paws
he didnt buy into coincidence
no faith in them
he had all the faith in the world
though for Unexpected
crisscrossing bird shadows
he was visited as much and
possibly more by bird shadows than birds(feral cats afoot might be a reason –
not that you could tell him)
stark shadows freed souls
silent harbingers of what?
no fucking idea
they crossed his path as he walked
strafing him gaylythey briefly blotted the pages of books he read as he walked
attentive companions spectral
and he wouldnt have been
surprised if in the mix he saw shadow of angels
smackdab down to their shining translucent
halos
