Cats and Fog

Written
1993

 The cold Fog is after me.

He rules the night.

He creeps in and around every corner.

Even to my door.

But the warm fire crowds Him out.

It keeps the Fog's cold breath from me.

Fog and I have an agreement.

He controls the tulle.

I, the hearth.

Fog devils the cats.

Their fur is wet.

They know the silent loneliness

      and retreat from the white prison.

Together we chose the hearth

      and share our hate of Fog.

Short days, long Fog

It is Darknes time
