the washing of the waves ~ a bright thing, glinting there ~ what is it, what is it for?

O I
am my
own way
of being in
view and yet
invisible at
once Hearing
everything
you see I
see all of
whatever you
can have heard
even inside the
deep silences of
black silhouettes
like these images
of furry surfaces
darkly playing cat
and mouse with your
doubts about whether
other minds can ever
be drawn from hiding
and made to be heard
in inferred language
I can speak only in
your voice Are you
done with my shadow
That thread of dark
word
can
all
run
out
now
and
end
our
tale
John Hollander. Kitty, Black domestic shorthair
