In The Dark

A dark Pantoum Poem

A man outside my window

The cat meowed and purred

I kneel by the fire

The darkness comes soon


The cat meowed and purred

She walked between my legs

The darkness comes soon

The stars will guide my way


She walked between my legs

She ran into the house

The stars will guide my way

I walk the beaten path


She ran into the house

Hiding away from me

I walk the beaten path

Stone, sand, and shell


Hiding away from me

The man peeks out

Stone, sand and shell

I stumble to the ground


The man peeks out

He hides behind the tree

I stumble to the ground

I'm running out of steam


Night turns to day

I kneel by the fire

Tapping at the glass

A man outside my window
